This recipe tasted excellent, but I'm only giving 4 stars because I think the proportions were off. First is the amount of meat. 1-2 tablespoons per enchilada? Not nearly enough. If you put a decent amount of meat into a corn tortilla, using the same amount of sauce, this recipe makes 6 enchiladas, not 12. This was OK with us, because that's all we needed to feed 3 people. I made it with chicken (bought a whole roasted chicken from a deli), and used all the dark meat, which was a bit more than the 1 1/2 cups total meat indicated. 1 cup of chopped onion was plenty, and I needed closer to 3 tablespoons of flour (not 2) to get the sauce properly thickened. I didn't have jack cheese, so I used all cheddar. I didn't have green chilies, so I diced almost 1/4 cup of canned jalapenos, and that gave it the right amount of kick for us. My husband liked this better than the enchiladas I make with canned red sauce, so I will definitely make this again.
