I gave this recipe 4 stars only because the prep time of 35 minutes seems off. It took me way longer - I think I was slow doing the crepes. I recommend this one as a weekend meal the first time you attempt it. That said the enchiladas turned out pretty good. My kids didn't complain about the crepes in the recipe that you substitute for the tortillas. The enchilada sauce is excellent and I may use it for other things :) Thanks so much for this recipe David04 - I recently had WLS and your recipes have helped me cook things I can eat along with my familia!
