Excellent blend of spices.. I used corn tortillas, wonderfujl flavor but the ones I bought would not roll they split. Still tasted wonderful but looked messy. I used skim milk Mozarrello - it doesn't have as much flavor but with the spices it was just fine. Added a tomatoe to the inside mixture and used cottage cheese on top before baking instead of sour cream. - I cut the recipe back to 4 enchiladas - Thanks for posting
