Enchiladas are typically prepared with corn tortillas, but my husband, Jeff, and I prefer flour tortillas. I use them in this saucy casserole that has irresistible home-cooked flavor and a subtle kick. —Jennifer Standridge, Dallas, Georgia

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!

Love these! I actually made 50% more last time to have some extra sauce and meat... and that's tonight's nachos! Thanks for the recipe!

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.

I've been looking for this recipe for 11 years!! It was a staple in my home and I lost my recipe folder in a move. Thank You, thank you!!

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.

VERY GOOD! Makes a lot, which I like. My husband and I love mexican flavors, and this tasted just as good as going out for enchiladas! Soo yummy!

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.
