They are seriously so yummy. They have been the perfect go-to meal for our family for almost 3 years! I bet I make these at least once a month. Everyone is always pleased, they are a no-fail guarantee. The meat is sweet, while the sauce has just the perfect kick to it. The creamy cheese and cream (bad description word, sorry!) make these enchiladas melt in your mouth. They balance eachother out perfectly! It is an extremely easy recipe, and, as I said, delicious!
