Pumpkin Enchiladas

Shannon's with cheese!

I found this recipe on whatkatiesbaking.com, she had found it on pbfingers.com.




I didn't have enchilada sauce so we made our own.  We found a yummy one on the Internet.   Shannon wasn't too fond of the pumpkin enchiladas, but I was!  My pictures are not very pretty.  I forgot to take a picture before serving and cutting my enchilada up.  If you want to see yummy pics, visit Katies blog!
