This is a great recipe, and a keeper! The instructions were clear and it was very easy to make. I used a little more cheese than called for and 1/2 c. more picante sauce on top of the enchiladas (to make sure the tortillas didn't dry out). The cheese I used was a specialty one we got at Sam's Club (Colby Jack with Habenero and Jalapeno peppers in it). I got 8 enchiladas out of it, and I baked these at 350 for 25 minutes, putting the oven on BROIL for the last 5-ish minutes. My family kept saying how good they were, long after the dishes had been loaded into the dishwasher! I served these with a green salad and Recipe #355678, and now I am ready to open my own Mexican restaurant. :) Thanks for posting this recipe! Made for Fall 2009 PAC.

I've loved to bake and cook since I was little. Now I enjoy cooking for my family and friends, and sharing some of the fun of the kitchen with my two young kids.
