I opted to make my own enchiladas. I remembered a friend telling me she made them lasagna style rather than rolling each individual one the traditional way. I never did get her recipe, so I decided to wing it and come up with my own. If I do say so myself, It came out really good. I test drove it on my husband and a co-worker and received positive reviews, so I&#8217;ll share with you. Try it and let me know how it turns out.
