SO HOW'D IT GO?

I made this today and it was delicious.  I layered  it like a casserole instead of wrapping each tortilla.  Also, I forgot to add the enchilada sauce...It still turned out great!

This was super good!! My whole family loved it. I made a few changes - I did 1 can of Vegetarian refried beans, and 1 can black beans (instead of 3 cans of beans) I also used some whole wheat tortillas as well as corn. The whole wheat ones seemed to hold up better in the oven ~ better then the corn ones. I served with some mexican corn ~ super yummy!!

This was pretty good....I should have sprayed the bottom of the pan with some cooking spray because they stuck and became enchilada piles, but overall, still yummy....
I think next time I will half the nooch sauce and shred some Follow Your Heart Nacho cheese into it for the rest.....it was a lot of nooch and I was tired of it after the first enchilada....

This is recipe is fabulous. In fact, this dish tastes better than any 'authentic' mexican food I've had at local restaurants. I had it for dinner last night, and for lunch and dinner today! It makes a TON. It is soo freakin good though. I put some tofutti sour cream on mine, added pico de gallo instead of salsa, and chopped green onions once it came out of the oven. 5 stars!

I made these Enchiladas last night for dinner, they were delicious! I did change up the recipe a bit tho and used Amy Organic Vegan Chilli (spicy) as my filling along with the "cheese". I also added pico de gio insted of salsa. I coated the bottom of my baking pan with enchilada sause and used flour tortillas. Strained all the chunk out of the mixture and used that as filling then added the "cheese" sause that I put to the side and some tofutti sour cream and used that as the topping along with a little more enchilada sause. This recipe makes ALOT of food, I was able to feed 5 very hungry men & myself with this recipe. It was amazing and I will definitely add it to my once a week recipes! :)

This was pretty good.  I didn't feel like rolling up all of the tortillas so I just layered them instead.  I think it could do with some more spice, it was a little bland, so adding some more spices and salsa helped.  I used some veggie shreds in it, as well.

I LOVED this recipe (big surprise, since everyone apperently did:)). Instead of using two onions, I replace one of the onions with a fresh green bell pepper and a jalapeno pepper. I also left out the olives and only used two cans of beans. It was AWESOME, definitely one of my new favorites!

this is an amazing recipe! we made it as a casserole and i can't even begin to tell you how yummy it was. we added corn and a 1/2 can of fire roasted tomatoes with adobo chilis to our beans (just used 2 1/2 cups of dried black beans) which made for an excellent filling. make this!!!
