We only made one small change to the recipe, we omitted the sage & added cayenne. It was amazing!! This is our new go to enchilada recipe!

This was very good, but does take a bit of time and dishes to prepare. I used only 2 tbsp of butter, and less flour and broth. I added 1/3 cup queso fresco cheese and we like that a lot. I am thrilled to know how to make this great red sauce!

These were better than I expected. I had to make some changes because I didn't have everything once I started. I followed the recipe except I subbed chili powder for chili seasoning( from the packets), I used fresh tomatoes and a little bit of Pace salsa to equal the stewed tomatoes. I skipped the sage and used the upper portions of each seasoning and added a llittle cayenne pepper. Oh and I also had to used Cheddar cheese. I heated the tortillas before

assembling too. It was so good!

Excellent! I followed the recipe as given, but used the smaller amounts of seasonings when given a choice. Will definitely make this again.

I think the tortillas I used were a tad bigger than recommended. They barely fit into my dish, but they sure were good and tasty.

Made this recipe as is, but we didn't care for it which was disappointing after all of the positive reviews. Will not make again.

Haven't made the Enchiladas yet (have it in my Cook'n file & can't wait to try it next week) but used the sauce in the Chimichangas I made last night. It added a great taste to them. The reviews about how good the sauce is are accurate. I typed the sauce recipe up separately & will be using it for Mexican cuisine!

These sound terrific but we do not like Sage. What spice could I use in place of it.

These are absolutely delectable. I warmed the flour tortillas on a comal prior to filling them. Seemed to keep the tortillas from getting pasty. Very good!

This recipe was OK. Will not make again but certainly edible. Did not like the flour tortillas...to mushy with sauce. Kids likes but adults, not so much.

Incredible - such a homemade taste! The spices were perfect, nice creamy tasty sauce and the amounts were great for our taste - enough sauce but not swimming in it. I did spread the sauce all over the top of the rolled tortillas once they were in the pan, as another reviewer said - and it really kept them from being too dry and crunchy. I made the whole recipe, then split it into two 9-inch glass dishes - two whole dinners for my husband and me!

O...M....G.....these are amazing! Most enchilada recipes I have call for store-bought enchilada sauce or a mix of other stuff that isn't very enchilada-y tasting. This sauce was fab. The beef is fab. Love love love. My family loved it. This is 'company-good' for a casual meal.

The enchiladas were good but I was expecting to be wowwed after reading all the reviews and I wasn't. Maybe it really makes a difference as to how much of the spices was used. I put in the minimum amount when it said "1 to 2 tsp or tablespoons". Maybe I should have put in the full amount. I have other enchiladas recipes I like better but I might make this again. We'll see how the leftovers taste tomorrow.

My entire family LOVES this recipe! Variations:

1. Use cooked turkey or chicken instead of beef. (Great way to use up leftover Thanksgiving turkey.)

2. Add a small layer of cannned refried beans to the tortilla before rolling up.

Absolutely delicious. Such good flavor and the sauce was the greatest. Nothing like that can enchilada sauce. The only thing I will do different next time is double the sauce and add an additional 8oz can of tomato sauce. Very, very good. Really the person who said these were bland have no taste buds. I substituted the stewed tomatoes for a can of Rotel like another reviewer did. Excellent!

I never comment on recipes, but this was amazing! I only used 3 cloves of minced garlic in the sauce and next time I will use 2. This is just an awesome dish! There is no way that person who wrote it is bland followed the directions! It is anything but bland! wow! I love mexican food and this is so easy!

These are awesome! The beef filling is my favorite, but the sauce is very yummy too. I happen to have fresh garlic from our farmer's market, and this recipe really lets it shine. My daughter can't wait for them to come out of the oven after sampling the filling!

Just a tip for those feeling it tastes too salty. Add only a little salt in the beginning, you can always add more as you cook and taste. Can't wait to try this, thanks for the reviews.

This is really tasty. My whole family enjoyed - even my kids. I used corn tortillas for myself to make it gluten-free. I found I had to dip/brush sauce on both sides to keep them from breaking. I left out the flour in the filling and used 1/4 cup cornstarch in place of the flour in the sauce to make it GF. I just added the cornstarch to the broth. I think this would taste good with beans, either in the filling or on the side. Next time I might try reducing the butter. Has anyone tried that?

Having grown up on mexican food, we never used corn tortillas -- always flour. This was too salty and all the spices left us drinking a lot of water. Dredging the tortillas in the sauce before filling and rolling would make them look more authentic.

If i am lazy and don't want to make the meat sauce, I squish up my homemade chili (that i always keep a supply of in the freezer) and use it instead. And I agree with mattnat, I could practically drink the sauce!

This is well worth the time it takes in the kitchen. Every time I make it; the sauce is so delicious I end up scraping the pan and licking the spoon! The other night I made the meat filling from this recipe; put it in some store bought tostada bowls with some salad fixings. It was a big hit! My kids are not fans of enchiladas, so I save some tortillas when I make the enchiladas and make "soft tacos" for them.
