This came together easily, but I didn't care for the flavor given by the green chiles. I also thought it could have used more meat.

I made this for my fiance last night; needless to say it was a complete success! I used corn tortillas that I softened in some cooking oil instead of the flour tortillas. It was yummy! Highly recommend this recipe :)

i made this for game night with some friends, and we all loved it, the taste was good with the beans in there. Top it off with sour cream and its good, I used more Enchilada sauce then it asked for... This one is going down as a family meal...
