Comments: This was a great dish. I had to make a few substitutions, but it was still great. I added red pepper instead of green and, added green onion, and I added a little roasted garlic cheese. It was very delicious.

Comments: These enchiladas are really tasty. I have made them quite a few times since i found this recipe. If you like things really saucy add another can of enchilada sauce. I also use flour tortillas - they don't need to be cooked in oil first, so its a little healthier.

Comments: This dish was very tasty. I would just add more sauce than the recipe calls for. It came out too dry for me, even though the taste was great. I will make this again!!!!
