I love cilantro... the more the better. I have made these several times for my friends. They always ask for the recipe. Not something to have too often though, not the best for you.

I didn't realize how involved this recipe was until I had to roast a jalapeno on my burner. But after all the labor and messy kitchen, they turned out amazing!! I felt like I could get these in a restaurant.
My grocer didn't have flank steak so I used skirt steak instead. I was a little confused on how much cilantro to use because the bunches at my grocery store are HUGE. I just eyeballed it.
But I don't think you can really mess this one up. Cheese, steak, cilantro, onions....how can you go wrong??

I did some things differently to save time and add more flavor, but this recipe is a good jumping off point for a delicious meal. I seared the flank steak, then diced it and put it back in the pan with seasonings (salt, garlic, red pepper, chili powder to finish cooking to medium rare. Then I mixed it with the cheese. I added some canned red enchilada sauce to the bottom of my casserole dish, and also poured a thin layer on top of the rolled enchiladas. I did not fry the tortillas as that's just too time consuming. I also did not blanch the cilantro or reduce the cream. I just threw my cilantro, roasted and chopped jalapenos, cream, cumin, garlic, and salt into the food processor. I then poured the cilantro sauce on top of the dish and put in the oven at 350, covered, for about 20-30 minutes. The red and green sauce makes a beautiful presentation and the flavor was very good.

This was very good. Some changes I made were: instead of using cilantro because I'm not a fan, I used cream of celery, a packet of enchilada sauce and tomato sauce. Mixed that well with a spoonfull of sour cream, heated and then poured some in the enchiladas and over them. It gave it a really good taste. As for the tortillas, I didn't have much luck rolling them after frying them so I rolled them up and then put them in the frying pan for about 10 seconds on each side, turning with a pair of tongs. I had two tortillas left over so I put them on top of the cheese and sauce mix and added the left over cheese and sauce on top of it. Very very good!!

Tip that worked for me...
When I tried to roll the tortilla they would brake and crack so I layered all the ingredient's like a lasagna in a casserole dish. Loved it ! The family was able to dish up easily.

Tasty dish we had no left overs:

These are great, but I made several changes. First, I used one buch on cilantro, not four, that is too much. I used non-fat yogurt instead of heavy cream to lighten up the sauce and calories. I also used a food processor to shred the beef and added a little beef broth and omited the cilantro with the beef. With these changes the recipe is actually pretty fast and excellent!!!

I'm not sure why you would make a recipe with cilantro without liking cilantro. This is fabulous.

I made this recipe a couple of years ago for a party and it was the first item gone. I used the exact amount of cylantro called for in the recipe and I thought it was delicious and so did everyone else. They all asked for the recipe. I've been looking for the recipe at home and couldn't find it. Now that I have, I'm going to make it for Mother's Day.
