Excellent dish!!! Both DH and I really enjoyed the flavor of these enchilads. We also were surprised to find that they only had 7 points. I was going to half the recipe, but thought that this would make great leftovers. We had it for dinner last night and for lunch today. I still have 2 more serving and I can't wait!! Thanks AndreaVT96 for posting.

<p>I currently live in West Virginia. I have two daughters, 10 and 7 yrs. I teach 4th grade at the small elementary school that they attend.<br /><br />Shortly before the birth of my youngest daughter, I started becoming interested in cooking, with great thanks to this site. I love trying new things. I used to collect cookbooks, and I still have quite a few, but since I've been a member of food.com, I have to admit that I don't use them much anymore. This is so much easier! <br /> <br />In addition to cooking, I enjoy spending time with my girls, reading, and shopping. I'm also a big Virginia Tech fan, hence my user name. It's where I went to school, so my loyalty lives on! </p>
