Vegetarian Enchiladas

I knew I would love this dish when I saw the recipe online.  After making a few modifications, well, lets just say that I love this recipe.  And I sincerely hope that you will also.

As you know, I am always looking for vegetarian dishes that I make for myself and my family, and to also surprise my meat eating friends.  Now, I am not saying this will fool anyone and that is not its intent. But to surprise them with how excellent a dish this vegetarian enchiladas is on its own merits.  So I invite you to give it a try this weekend and drop me a line on my contact page and let me know how it turned out.
