What brand of enchilada sauce do you use? Some of them taste funny. Around here there is a mexican food resturaunt on every corner and there are several types of enchilada sauces. I think the one I like is a tex-mex gravy (probably not the healthiest thing in the world, but I have to splurge sometimes). Anyways, I'll have to try your recipe soon...I was cleaning out my cabinets yesterday and found some margarita mix and several bottles of tequila that I forgot that I had (I'm a vodka kinda girl...and red wine too). Have a great day!
