This is a modified, lightened version of a recipe that I got from a friend. I cut out more than half the fat, but it is still really rich and yummy.

I'm not a fan of enchiladas, but I tried these because my wife made them. I was surprised to find that I actually enjoyed them! The creamy sauce was really good.

These enchiladas were a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more spices next time I make them.

These enchiladas were really good, but I would have liked them more if they had been a bit cheesier. I'll definitely be adding more cheese next time I make them.

I'm a vegetarian, so I used tofu instead of chicken in these enchiladas. They turned out great! The tofu was nice and crispy and the sauce was delicious.

These enchiladas were a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved them. I'll definitely be making them again, but I'll use less chili powder next time.

These enchiladas were easy to make and tasted great! I used rotisserie chicken to save time and they still turned out delicious.
