It was goood and easy def repeat this recipe❤❤❤
I have made this so many times. Using your sauce recipe and love it so much. Thank you for sharing! I re-watch both videos everytime I make them. 😉
I follow your Recipe exact, and the Corn or Flour Tortillas “Crack” Everytime!! I have All but Given Up Making These. I wind up Scooping the Tortillas Out with a Lg. Spoon because they All have Cracked and the Filling just Blends In All Together. What is the Point of Wrapping Them?? I just make an Enchilada Casserol, with layers of Mixture and Tortillas that Lay Flat Inbetween. Turns Out Very Good, but it’s Not an Enchilada!!
Thank you for this video mam. I am greatful for your way of doing it vs others
