This is a great recipe. I substituted masa in place of flour which was really good and added a hint of fat free cream cheese. Coconut milk gave excellent flavor.
Thanks for sharing this!!

Hi, I’m a little confused about when to add the enchilada sauces. Step 1 and step 3 say to add both enchilada sauces, can you clarify?
Katie says
Hi! Thanks for pointing that out! That was a typo. You add them in at step 3 ๐
