throwback thursday.. enchilada stack with a creamy jalapeno sauce..

 

i love this recipe.. i first made it back in 2012 that post here enchilada stack.. my entire family loved it.. it's so easy and so good.. this time around i used fajita size flour tortillas and i might even like it better than the first time i made it..

 

i love enchiladas!! there is a restaurant in town that serve cheese enchiladas with an extra spicy enchilada sauce.. ::swoooon:: i love them.. so for this recipe i used the "hot" enchilada sauce but you don't need to the mild kind is just as yummy..

i didn't have mayonnaise for the above sauce so i used cottage cheese.. that's why it looks kinda "bumpy" ha :)
