These have become a family favorite. My college roommate and I served them to a vegetable-phobic friend of ours, whose happily surprised response was, “Whoa, I guess vegetables can taste good, under the right circumstances!” You can roll the enchiladas individually, as is traditionally done, but we’ve found that they hardly ever stay that way by the time they reach your plate, so we keep life simple and just build layers.
[V*] Make this recipe vegan by substituting vegan cheese.
