EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

Although enchiladas are usually made with corn tortillas, this recipe calls for flour tortillas. Not only are they softer and easier to roll, but we like their flavor!

Bummer, they don't sell enchilada sauce where I live or the green sauce so I decided not to make for it just wouldn't be the same. Anyone have any other ideas for making their own sauce?

My fiance made this. He tried half with the burrito-size flour tortillas, and half with corn tortillas. He liked it better with the corn tortillas. He really enjoyed them!
