Cajun Crawfish Enchiladas image

While this cajun lady was living in Corpus Christi I was challenged to cook up a mexican dish with crawfish for a pot luck dinner. Cajuns are known for what we have around us and try to make something great out of it. By the way...it was a winner.

These enchiladas were a disaster. I followed the recipe exactly and they still turned out inedible.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my enchiladas turned out terrible. They were dry and the filling was mushy.

I thought these enchiladas were just okay. The crawfish filling was a little bland and the sauce was a little too thick.

I'm not a big fan of crawfish, but I thought these enchiladas were pretty good. The sauce was flavorful and the cheese was melted and gooey.
