These enchiladas are so flavorful and delicious, but do take some time to prepare. I would suggest making a double batch and freezing some in small rectangular serving-size glass containers before baking. This way you will have a homemade meal ready to go in the oven for another night, or a snack that hungry teenagers can pull out of the freezer and put into the oven! Serve the enchiladas with cooked brown basmati rice and shredded green cabbage tossed with my Cilantro Vinaigrette.

This recipe was delicious! The sauce is amazing. I could eat it with a spoon. It is so fresh and flavorful. My whole family devoured this dish. I doubled the recipe and we had leftovers. Everyone was calling dibs on the leftovers. The filling was really flavorful and it was just the right amount of cheese. I know I will be asked to make these again soon.
