Does anyone have an AUTHENTIC recipe for enchiladas with white sauce? I've seen a lot with white american cheese which just sounds disgusting.... Thanks so much!

Never heard of 'white sauce' on authentic enchiladas. There is a green sauce, which is made with green chilies and cream of mushroom soup. Hope you have a wonderful dish!

Authentic enchiladas have green or a red sauce.
