I have never been disappointed in a Taste of Home recipe until last night when I made this one. The 'sauce' was very watery. I had to add more flour to thicken it. My family also thought it was bland and tasteless. What did I do wrong? probably won't make it again, at least not with this sauce.

I make this recipe quite often. I also make a few changes usually to what I have on hand such as ground turkey or the pepper and onion sausage that is in the market and swapping out other cheeses. My husband is of Mexican decent and he makes his own enchilada sauce with simmering various dried chilis and seasonings. To be honest I don't know how he makes it but it's great and that's the sauce I use instead of what this calls for. Other than that it's basically the same. Love it!

My husband and I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this recipe! I add a little more refried beans to the meat mixture to make it a little more moist. And I only place 1/2 cup down the center of each tortilla and divide the rest up so that each tacorito has an equal amount of meat. We have used pepper jack cheese instead of the Monterrey blend with excellent results! We have made this for our family Sunday dinners with many requests to make it again! There is never enough to satisfy my family!

I was just browsing and noticed this recipe and decided to give it a try. Well it was rated two(2) thumbs up from family members and I was asked when will I make it again. It was delicious!

I was completely disappointed in this recipe and just as surprised to learn it was a contest winner. The sauce was the turnoff. I made the recipe out of cookbook and wish I had taken the time to read the reviews first. I would have changed the sauce ingredients. Thumbs down on this one.

I overhauled this recipe since I like it spicy. For the liquid, I used about 2 1/2 cups total, including 2/3 cup smooth taco sauce (any brand), 1/4 cup beef broth and the rest water. It made a tasty enchilada sauce. For the filling, I used chorizo (Mexican sausage) instead of bulk pork sausage, and I added an entire container of the new PHILADELPHIA Cooking Creme (Sante Fe Style Blend). The filling was so creamy, spicy, tasty. Yum. Everything else was the same--Monterey jack cheese and so forth. But this was so yummy with the additional flavors. If you can't find the new product you can probably just use regular creme cheese, softened, and mixed with with taco seasoning. (plus that's cheaper than the new philly product).

Kids loved it! The homemade enchilada sauce was so easy and SO much better than canned!

i too was suprised at the good reviews! i had to nix the sauce all together, who likes chili powder diluted by water and flour?? not i! it was horrible:( we put salsa inside with the meat, bean, cheese mix,which was tasty, but made a cheese sauce to coat top and added more salsa and black olives. would make again with changes to topping of these

I'm surprised at all the positive reviews. My family found this to be very bland. I followed the recipe without substitutions. We garnished with sour cream. Would have been more flavorful if I'd put the sauce on top, which I didn't. We had one hungry teen who ate two, but the rest of us were uninterested in seconds. According to my husband, this was the first time Taste of Home let him down.
