Fantastic recipe!!!! But I do not make individual enchiladas, I make it more like a lasagna. I put a small amount of the white sauce on the bottom of the pan, followed by two or three tortillas cut to fit the pan. I then spoon in half of the mixture, followed by 2 more tortillas shells. Repeat. I pour the rest of the sauce over top and sprinkle some cheddar down the middle and also some salsa or picante sauce for flavor and color. Everyone that I have made this for loves it!

This is a great dish. I have made it twice for company, and my boys are always happy when we are having it for dinner.

My family loved these enchiladas! They are quick and easy to make and the sauce was delicious. I will be adding this to my list of dinner favorites.

We love this recipe. It's one of my personal favorite dinners. I like to add some fresh cilantro to the cheddar cheese topping.

I don't know what's wrong with this recipe, but it just didn't taste good. Personally, I think it's the sauce you make. It's hard to go wrong with cheese, but we didn't like this dish.
