Fantastic!! I mixed the shredded cheese (all but about 1/4 cup) with the cottage cheese and sour cream mixture. To reduce some of the fat I used ground turkey and low fat sour cream and cottage cheese. It really did turn out fabulous. The kids had me make some w/o meat and they were really good too. Thanks for sharing!

Really good! I garnished with fresh chopped tomato, green onion, and cilantro...it really bought the flavor to the next level and made for a nice presentation.

Awesome flavor and easy to make, my kind of meal! I used low fat cottage cheese, fat free sour cream and a low fat cheese blend and we didn't miss a thing. They were full of flavor without being full of fat and calories! This will definitely be our enchilada recipe of choice from here on out! Thanks!

These were very good. Tasted just like the enchiladas I usually make but with half of the work! I was delighted. For those of us who like kick, just use spicy enchilada sauce. You can also sprinkle tops with jalapenos just before baking. I made only 10, and was able to squeeze them all into a 9x9 wich mde for easier clean up. Also, for those using ground beef, use 2 pounds or 2 1/2 if your real meat lovers like us Thanks for a great recipe!
