There is just something about gooey cheese wrapped in a freshly made flour tortilla that puts my heart a-flutter. Since time is always an issue with dinner preparation, this recipe for Cheese Enchiladas uses the delicious Enchilada Sauce from Trader Joe's. If you don't have a Trader Joe's in your area or you prefer a different type of sauce, you can easily substitute it for the sauce in this recipe.
