  1.  
  2. This was quick, easy, and soooo delicious. I will repeat this one for sure!
     
  3. Very good. This dish is great for crowd. I definitely would make this again.
     
  4. Made it tonight and LOVED it! I took out the olives, added a can of Hot Rotel and used whole wheat tortillas. I was shocked that such easy preparation yielded so much flavor!! Maybe next time I'll try it with chicken...
     
  5. Yummy. I was in the mood for enchiladas but without all the rolling and a casserole fit the need but I was also in the mood for spicy yumminess to have without taking an hour and this fit the bill perfectly. I made it to the recipe using Pace thick and chunky salsa HOT and La Palmas medium enchilada sauce mixed with 85/15 ground beef. I think this would do very well with ground turkey as well since there's so much flavor between the sauces and the refried beans to choose from.

Tweaks

  1. This easy recipe was a hit! My boyfriend loved it and asked me to make it again soon. I did make a couple tweaks: <br/>1) I omitted the "chunky salsa" ingredient and opted instead for a can of Ro-Tel. This added a bit of heat and lots of flavor.<br/>2) Instead of cheddar cheese, I used a bag of Mexican blend cheese. <br/><br/>I made the sauce as indicated and put the first layer of tortillas in the dish. I then poured what I thought was about the first half of the meat sauce, but when I went to pour the last half of that sauce, I was running out and had to spread it out quite a bit to cover the dish. I guess I could be terrible at judging amounts, though :) Just to be safe I think I will use closer to 1.5 lbs of beef next time. <br/><br/>Overall, it was indeed VERY easy with a delicious and impressive tasting result!
