Three-Cheese Enchiladas

This was a recipe from an old Country Woman magazine. It was so colorful and very good! I thought some of the amounts for the ingredients were a little small...but maybe I'm just used to cooking for a large family. Feel free to make more filling for fuller enchiladas.

I also substituted a can of diced tomatoes with chili peppers (like Rotel) for the picante sauce because that's what I had on hand. It worked well.
