Cheesy Crab Enchiladas image

While I was in college, my roommates and I loved the taste of ranch dressing - it was our condiment of choice for almost everything. So I created these rich delectable crab enchiladas - with ranch dressing mix as my secret ingredient. -Kelly Mockler, Madison, Wisconsin

These enchiladas were a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed them. I would recommend using less chili powder next time.
