Notes

Such a fun twist on a classic. The buffalo sauce really shines through, it is not overly spicy but there is a definite kick. I suggest halving the buffalo sauce in the filling if you do not like spice.
The sauce on top doesn’t taste much like ranch but the ranch seasoning just gives it a nice flavor, but it doesn’t scream RANCH.

An ultimate taste sensation is what these enchiladas are and they deserve to have something equally tasty to be served with them. Take a gander at that list and I'm sure you'll find something that will send your friends and family to the moon and back...they're just that good!
