I let my beef lovin' husband and son rate this and they gave it 5 thumbs up (they had to borrow one of my thumbs). I was drawn to this since I had everything in my kitchen and wanted to avoid canned enchilada sauce. Very flavorful and rich! I ended up with 9 enchiladas that were well-stuffed. Thanks PiceSeasGirl!
