I feel like I've made every combination of enchilada humanly possible. Chicken, beef, turkey, vegetarian. I love them all. Up until fairly recently I was a a whole wheat tortilla fan. They are nice and big and are easy for wrapping enchiladas. 
Now, that I am eating gluten free, I am a corn tortilla fan. I love the taste better than whole wheat tortillas now. The only problem. They make a cruddy enchilada. They taste wonderful but they don't wrap well. At. All. I've tried warming them first or getting them slightly damp. They still end up splitting and breaking when I wrap them. 
I'm a little OCD so the wrapping difficulty used to bother me but I'm completely over it now. I mean, seriously, does it MATTER if you don't get a nice neat enchilada out of the pan? No. What matters is the deliciousness that is inside and on top of the corn tortillas. 
So clearly you may not get the most beautiful enchilada meal in the world but you will get an enchilada with an awesome creamy vegetarian inside and a super flavorful chile enchilada sauce on top!
