“I went hunting for a recipe when my daughter, Laurie, was coming to dinner and bringing a vegetarian friend. I found this in one of my magazines.” – Jean Hansen
“This was my Mom’s standard dish if a vegetarian was coming to dinner, but it is equally good if you are a meat eater.” – Calla Ferre
“Not bad for being vegetarian. I modified this a bit when I tried it. I sautéed a small, chopped onion in some olive oil and added that to the tomato mixture in place of the green onions. I also thinned out the sour cream with some milk so it was easier to spread over the dish. I found that I could make and extra 8 enchiladas (minus the topping), so I cooked up the 8 as directed and then froze the other 8.” – April Ferre
