Dana & Audrey's Review of Perfect Enchiladas & Peach crisp

This was a busy, late night for us, as we cooked both the enchiladas and the peach crisp and didn't get started till around 7:00 that night :) After cooking them, there are definitely ways to cook some of it before hand but, we wanted to see what it was like doing it all in one go. Both recipes were a big hit, we are glad to report. In fact, Doug likes these enchiladas better than the ones I have been making. I am sure that I will make my original recipe at times, but its nice to have another enchilada recipe, so that it I can change it up. We followed the recipe very closely, as that is how we like to do it on a first try. We didn't have quite enough enchilada sauce, so we added a can of tomato sauce and that worked really well. Also, our family isn't big on sharp cheddar, so we used our usual mix of colby and jack cheese. We aren't very adventurous when it comes to cheese :) We also used a large onion instead of a medium onion and I won't do that in the future as that was too much onion. Some of you mentioned not seeing the big deal about the oil and flour mixture in the enchilada sauce, but we think that it helped the sauce in its consistency. We also lightly fried the tortillas in oil before filling them, like she said and we think this helped make the rolling easier and the tortillas to not break up as we did it. Corn tortillas like to break up some when they are handled.



Here are our fresh ingredients washed and ready to use.


Dana had the fun job of stirring the maple cream sauce for its 20 minutes and also keeping an eye on the enchilada sauce.

Here's all the ingredients ready to be made into the enchiladas.

Done cooking!

Plated up and ready for eating!

Dana enjoying her hard work!

We also followed the peach crisp recipe closely. We did add extra maple syrup to the cream sauce as many of you recommended. We simmered it for the 20 minutes and that worked fine for us. We stuck it in the frig till after dinner was done. For the filling, we used fresh peaches, as we found some at the store. They tasted good, but we want to try frozen peaches next time, as they won't take so long preparing. The crisp part of the dish turned out real well. We used a bigger pan and put it under the broiler for about 5 minutes after it finished cooking and we think that helped crisp it up. We really liked both the enchiladas and the peach crisp and plan on cooking both again in the future. We had fun cooking both recipes, so good job picking them out!

Peach crisp with sauce with some ice cream. We really enjoyed this dessert. It is very rich, so we couldn't eat too much of it at one sitting :)
