I would highly recommend this to anyone - low carbers or not." "I make this recipe all the time...my family loves it...actually, my son and DIL(who don't lo-carb) request this quite often when they come over for dinner...they like it better than "regular" enchiladas because they don't fall apart and you really can't tell the difference in the taste!

What a great low carb recipe! This far exceeded my expectations and was just as good as the traditional enchilada recipes!

What a great idea. I have a leaner crepe recipe I use for such things, but I never thought about using it in lieu of traditional carb-loaded shells. Thanks!

I have made this twice and both times we have liked it. I add chopped onion to the gr beef as it cooks. The 2nd time I made this I used milk instead of heavy cream and didn't notice a difference. This is a great recipe for when you are low carbing it! We like chopped tomatoes and sr cream on top. Delish! Thanks for sharing this recipe!
