"These are simple, but tasty, and lend themselves well to customization. I often add taco meat or shredded beef. Adjust amounts and ingredients to your personal tastes."

Loved these! I grated green chile cheese and cheddar cheese. Sautéed onions on top before baking and made in individual dishes. Excellent! -

These were very easy to make and quite tasty. I recommend using a block of cheese and do the shredding yourself. Pre shred cheese doesn't melt as well. I also added olives to mine. -
These are very tasty enchiladas. I feel they need to be baked longer. Our cheese was not completely melted inside the tortillas. Next time I will cook them at least 10 minutes longer. Made for PAC Spring 2014.

My husband makes the world safe for tooth models everywhere (he makes toothpaste tubes and travels the world doing it). We both love food, probably more than we should. He is absolutely addicted to kitchen gadgets, and I spend a lot of time trying to keep him from buying every single one he comes across. They aren't all quite as useful as their infomercials would have you believe, you know. <img title=Wink src=/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/img/smiley-wink.gif border=0 alt=Wink /></p>
