    Made this last night and had everything except the green onions for the top, so I used a few spoons of Pico de Gallo with the sour cream. They were fantastic! They will go into the dinner rotation.

    Thank you for that lesson about Coloration of brown meat! I did not know!

    Yummy!! I make beef enchiladas on occasion, but your recipe is tops. Now, all I need with them are refried pinto beans and Tex-Mex rice. Thank you— Jose
  • I made these tonight and they were fantastic! That chile sauce was well worth it.
  • OMG I made this last night for dinner and even my picky eater cleaned his plate! This was a fast and easy weeknight meal
  • OK, my father, both of his parents, and my mother's mother were born in Mexico. They taught me to fry the tortillas in some fat, to soften them up. Also, we just stacked the tortillas up, pancake (or Sonora) style. Fry the tortilla, for just a few seconds to soften them, into the Enchilada Sauce, again for a second. Now, on the plate. Add what fillings you want. Cheese, lettuce, onions, some seasoned ground beef (or some ground pork.) Put another tortilla on, after it has gone through the same procedure. Repeat, as much as you want. Last step, put a sunny side up egg on top. Garnish with a LOT of Pico De Gallo, and lime juice. Lawyer slices (Avocado) as needed. (You Spanish speakers may appreciate the "lawyer" mention.) steve
