Your enchiladas rate 5 stars from us. We loved the addition of the sweet pepper and onion sauted. I had to use enchilada sauce since we didn't have taco sauce on hand, so I cut back a bit on the cumin. This is a great way to use up some left over beef roast. I shredded ours since we like it that way, I plan on trying this with chicken as well. For someone with a German sounding name you know how to russel-up some tasty Tex-Mex. Thanks!1Reply

All I had was stew meat, so I boiled it in a fajita seasoning packet for a couple hours,added some jalepeno's, then continued the recipe. It was an excellent recipe,easy, that I WILL use again! It is one of the more authentic tasting enchilada recipes I have had. My hubby LOVED it! Thanks for the excellent recipe!Reply
