  1. Very good recipe! I do think some diced green chilis would take it over the top but the other 2 here were very happy with it as is. I made an extra 1/2 cup of sauce in view of the comments and that provided plenty of moisture in my opinion. I also put closer to 1 cup of cheese on top. Thanks for sharing your recipe. Made for PRMR.
     
  2. Way too much onion. Next time I'll use 1 small.
     
  3. Yum. Easy and delicious. This is a dish I would definitely make again. Thanks!
     
  4. Very easy and good recipe. As other reviewers commented, I too doubled the sauce, so I had a bit extra, and used more cheese. I really enjoy enchilada recipes that do not used canned sauce. Thanks for the post!
     
  5. cheese enchiladas ahve always been my favorite at a mexican restaurant, so glad to have this to make. I left out the can of beans, since i love them just plain but did add some diced chilis to the cheese
