Blogging Hiatus: Over!

We have had company for the vast majority of the time since our last blog posts! We had an amazing time and got to cook with those near and dear to us. Got to do some vegetarian, some super southern dishes, and some amazing brunches.

Now that stuff has settled down somewhat, we're finally back to blogging! We have lots of great recipes to share with you all :)

 For starters, heres a super easy way to make enchiladas to serve a crowd! This makes 10 enchilladas, with 2-3 being an average serving size.

Ingredients:
10 burrito-sized flour tortillas
2 10-ounce cans of red enchilada sauce, mild to hot depending on your preference
1 pound shredded chicken, ground turkey, or ground beef
4 cups Mexican-mix cheese

Preparation:
1.) Cook your meat. If I'm using ground turkey, I just brown it in a skillet. If I use chicken, I just cook chicken breasts in the oven it until no longer pink in the oven, and shred the chilled meat.
2.) Heat enchilada sauce in a large skillet until simmering.
3.) Dip a flour tortilla halfway into the enchilada sauce skillet
4.) Lay it flat on a large plate. Use about 1/10th of the whatever meat you choose and fill the enchilada like so:




5.) Sprinkle some cheese on top of chicken.
6.) Roll it up and put into a baking dish:


7.) Pour any remaining enchilada sauce on top of all the enchiladas and sprinkle with all the remaining cheese. If you want, you can add jalapenos on top for some more kick! Bake at 350 degrees for about 15-20 minutes or until cheese is melty and bubbly. (We didn't take any after pictures because we were starving! But it surely is delicious.) Serve with sour cream and guac.

I got this recipe from a great family friend when we were living in Austria, so I have to give her much credit! Definitely a staple when I need some awesome Mexican food. Thank KH :)

Variations:
Add salsa, sauteed onions or green peppers to the filling. Use hot sauce to give it an extra kick. Be creative.

Have a lovely Wednesday!
