"These enchiladas are made using a skillet, no oven. I think these would be good with beans added to the cheese and olives. I found the recipe on a magazine insert."

Hate to be harsh, but this was terrible. The "sauce" tasted like Beef Stroganoff because of the cream of mushroom soup. I should have known better. Happy cooking!

I use flour tortillas when making this often-requested recipe, one of my husband's favorites. Method: Just before adding the heated sauce (soup, enchilada sauce, milk, & green chiles) to the browned meat, soften the flour tortillas by dipping each one into the sauce. This eliminates the need for frying in oil. For best results, increase the enchilada sauce to 15 ounces. Note: I make these enchiladas in a 13" electric skillet, not on the stove-top.

Deb's Recipes provided a great suggestion re dipping in sauce instead of oil.

Perhaps it was because I used reduced fat cream of mushroom soup, but I was a little dissapointed in the way these enchiladas turned out at first. BUT, the next day I had a left-over enchilada for lunch. These are like spaghetti; The left-overs taste better than the first time around!
