I slightly changed the recipe based on some of the reviews. I used the one can of tomatoes, 1 small can of mexican rotel (spicy), and only 1 large can of green chilis. I added the extra garlic, cumin, and paprika. In order to make the milk sauce a little thicker, I also started by melting 1/2 T in the pan, 1 T of the flour, adding the milk little by little, then towards the last of the milk I mixed in the remaining 1 T of flour. Still wasn't thickening much, added some cheese which helped. Might try a different method next time. Served with homemade guacamole, pico de gallo, and plain greek yogurt (as our "sour cream"). Will definitely make this again!!
Swiss Enchiladas
Add a dash of cumin or paprika to the onions, if you'd like. You can also use purchased rotisserie chicken to cut down on the prep time.
Yield: 6 servings (serving size: 1 enchilada and about 1/3 cup sauce)
