Notes

When I make these, it is easy to double recipe and throw one in the freezer for another crazy busy night where you can just put in oven and not have to cook. Or you can easily put another batch in a foil pan and deliver to a neighbor too! 
 
Low Carb? You can easily make these enchiladas low carb by using low carb tortillas too!
