Enchiladas are a great meal to prepare for a crowd because you can cook up a whole bunch of them at one time. Similar to burritos, enchiladas are usually made with corn tortillas instead of flour ones, though I've seen them made both ways. You can fill them with a virtually endless supply of ingredients for new and exciting creations all the time. No matter how you make them, enchiladas are a crowd pleaser and will make you famous among your friends and family. If you need some inspiration, read on.

Yanina: If the tortilla isn't dipped in chile sauce it's not an enchilada.
Ayra: Yum, must try
Katelyn: No. 3 makes me laugh. By definition an enchilada is a corn tortilla rolled around a filling in a sauce.
Im_Maat: I love enchiladas...ground beef and bean are my fave. I make spinach artichoke, black bean and corn and apple cinnamon dessert filled ones...delish
