I ended up adapting this to make a kind of taco instead of baking it as enchiladas, but we liked it quite a bit.

Finally! a recipe more like more grandmother would make, but adapted to use canned sauce! A recipe I can live with! Tasted great, too. This one's a keeper.

We really enjoyed these enchiladas. I made a large batch of my crockpot Mexican turkey and used the leftovers in the tortillas. The sauce for the enchiladas was very good and a nice compromise between just using a canned product and making a sauce completely from scratch. All in all a very good recipe with plenty of room to create your own special version.
