These Cream Cheese Enchiladas are my favorite dish to date. I first made them back in 2010 and since been in love! I recommend this recipe to all my friends and family, but ensure you follow my ingredients FIRST before you go off with your own variation. A lady at work took my recipes and used different cheese and didn’t use chili pepper or sour cream! She later complained it wasn’t up to her standard. But, it was MY recipe but HER recipe. So, please try it with my recipe, step-by-step, and I can guarantee you’ll be satisfied with the dish!
