These enchiladas were just okay. They weren't bad, but they weren't anything special either.

I was disappointed with these enchiladas. The flavor was bland and the cheese was not melted properly.

These enchiladas were a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved them. I would recommend using less chili powder if you don't like spicy food.

These enchiladas were a hit with my family! The combination of three cheeses and the caramelized onions was perfect. I will definitely be making these again.
