Enchiladas with Mexican Beer Enchilada Sauce image

My husband loves cooking with beer and has turned me on to doing also. Friday night was Mexican night so I decided enchiladas were going to be on the menu and came up with this recipe. I realize there are many similar recipes out there but this is my twist to an all time favorite.
