3.Roll up tightly. Cut in half and place each half seam side down in greased 7 by 11 inch baking dish.
Spoon remaining 3/4 cup salsa over enchiladas. Cover tightly with foil.
4.Bake in 350 degree oven for 25-30 minutes or until hot.
5.Top with a sprinkle of cheese and remain to oven uncovered for a couple minutes just until cheese is melted.
Serve with optional toppings, hot enchilada sauce for dipping, re fried beans, and rice. Serves 6-8.
* I got this recipe from the-girl-who-ate-everything I thought that they were pretty good I think that it makes a big difference on what flavor and type of salsa and seasonings that you use. Some just don't mix together as well as others. Overall they were ok but I don't think that I will be making them again. I give them a 3 1/2
