SO HOW'D IT GO?

This was WONDERFUL.  Even my carnivorus hubby liked and said I should make this again>

This recipe is AWESOME.  I wish I'd bought the medium or mild enchilada sauce but other than that, it was amazing.  I had to heat the tortillas in the oven before using them so that they would not break.  Also, I added Soyrizo on top of the pile of filling inside and only used one can of beans.  I added cayenne to the filling, which in hindsight, was probably not necessary given the intensity of the enchilada sauce.  I forgot to put the Sour Supreme on top for serving-- that would have mitigated some of the spiciness.

This recipe is divine-- I shall make it again and tweak it some more.

*edit-- after making again*

-->  I made this again and it was even better!!  I layered the tortillas so that it was more like a casserole... I used less onion (about 1/2 as much).  I wish I'd been able to afford Soyrizo this time... I used Yves veggie mexican 'meat' and it wasn't as good.  I did use more beans this time though, to try to get a heartier dish.  Oh, I also made it a bit less spicy (used medium enchilada sauce).  I love this recipe so much!!!!!  Yay!!!

This recipe is fantastic!  We've made it three times now, once for omnivorous company who loved it too.  Instead of rolling up the enchiladas, which never seems to work for me, I make more of an enchilada casserole by layering the tortillas with the other ingredients.  I also make my own enchilada sauce.  5 Stars!

Excellent recipe!  Mine made 11 enchiladas and I cooked it in a larger pan.  Added two small cans of Ortega green chilis to it.  Topped it with Toffuti sour cream and wow...delicious.  I used all three types of beans.  Mmmmmmm....

One batch of this recipe fed 6 hungry soldiers!  Everyone loved it.  I made it using Amy's Organic refried beans, and turned out great.  :)
