Made this for tonight's dinner; was easy to make, colorful, very appealing in appearance. In step 6 you're to top with remaining cheese and salsa. It took me a minute to decide that the remaining cheese was the Monterey Jack, but no additional salsa was called for in the ingredients. Fortunately that wasn't a "biggie" as I had plenty of salsa available. DH and I decided that using the salsa as a sauce base was not our "cup of tequila", so I'll use this basic recipe and improvise with a taco sauce next time. The recipe has definite merits and is worth trying. I'll be interested in what other raters have to say. Maybe someone with lots of enchilada experience can try it and let us know.

We very much enjoyed this recipe as we are new toEnchiladas. However I did use Taco Sauce instead of Salsa as the Salsa is a little juicy for us. thank you Christina. Quick and Easy recipe

Paula The "remaining salsa and cheese" come from the meat mixture - salsa, cheese, hamburger, and then you finish by topping it off with the monteray jack.
