I was disappointed in these. I found that sauce to be grainy from the 1/2 cup of chile powder, and it overwhelmed from the flavor of the pork in the filling. There also definitely needed to be more cheddar. Would not make again.

Excellent enchiladas - I'd make them again for a weeknight or weekend supper. I had previously made & frozen some carnitas, so I used that meat and it worked out well. I also opted to pre-cut the tortillas in half to make serving a bit neater. I reduced the honey from 3 to 1.5 Tbsp for the sauce.
