I was really looking forward to this recipe and it did not disappoint. I love cheese enchiladas with onions. I really liked the sauce and found it very easy to make and delicious. I would make this sauce for my beef enchiladas. The peppers added a great flavor to the mix of ingredients. -
One of our all-time favorites! I have the cookbook this was in (see link below). I don't always use the chili's (not always a staple in my cupboard). I sometimes add whole beans, or cooked chicken or beef in addition to the refried beans if we have those handy/leftover. <br/><br/>I could only find The cookbook this came in as used on Amazon- not sure if it's still available but it has tons of good recipes: <br/>http://www.amazon.com/Oven-Roasted-Etc-Meals-Life/dp/0865739781/ref=sr_1_fkmr1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1379100480&sr=8-1-fkmr1&keywords=healthy+choice+cookbook+oven+roasted -
Great weeknight recipe, and the whole family got into the act. We used flour tortillas, otherwise we pretty much followed your recipe word for word. Sorry no photo of this one...The Peanut Gallery refused to cooperate (and being hungree makes them less willing to wait while I prep a picture! What is THAT all about?) *ZWT 5 Groovy GastroGnomes gallivanting the globe*
