TJ was on my list already today and so I looked at the refrigerated enchiladas. It was hard to tell but I think there was 4 of them. But the reason it was hard to tell and possibly the reason that CE's were dry is because they were a mess....there was little sauce so a lot of tortilla was exposed and they looked like they were one big blob rather than nicely rolled & separated enchiladas. It wasn't a fluke as I checked several packages. If one package was just for me and I was going to add more sauce, they might be fine. But they were only half rolled and I don't know how you could just dish out one enchilada. Anyway I was not tempted. I think the only premade foods I might buy from time to time would be a pizza or salsas, dips or salad dressing---those are all good.
Corky, you nailed it. They were a mess, and you're right, there was next to no sauce. I do make enchiladas from scratch, but saw them regularly referred to in this thread and thought it would be a convenient thing to grab for a lunch time meal. I think the packaging says one has 290 calories, but a fair amount of sodium so I'm not sure I would want to eat two in one sitting. Though I may have done just that with the first one I ate, which in retrospect was fairly gargantuan. now I'm going to be craving enchiladas and we'll have to make them next week from scratch. Though I may just do a lazier enchilada type pie/casserole.
