I've been cooking this Recipe for years, always to rave reviews and repeated requests to make it more often. I even had a couple from South Texas say that these were the most authentic Enchiladas they had tasted away from the Mexican Border. They even asked for the Recipe! I don't believe you can go wrong serving this dish.

This Enchilada Recipe has been a family favorite since the mid '80's. They are met with rave reviews wherever they are served. I had a group of Hispanics tell me these Enchiladas were completely authenic; reminding them of being around their Mama's table. I don't see how you can go wrong with this recipe; I think you will love them too.
