Cheesy Chicken Enchiladas


Have you ever had a craving for some kind of food, but you really didn't even know exactly what it was?


Is that just something that happens to me? Like...I read recipes on blogs that have ingredients I've never heard of before or watch someone cook something on Food Network in a way I've never seen before and I just HAVE TO HAVE IT.


Anyway, that happened to me with Enchiladas recently. I've seen enchiladas before, and I've had tastes off of other people's plates. I've never tried making them before, but recently I have been CRAVING them.

PLEASE TELL ME THIS IS NORMAL. I NEED VALIDATION!

Sorry for yelling.


Anyway, let's get down to business. I was craving enchiladas, despite never really eating them before, and decided that now was as good a time as any to make them.


These Cheesy Chicken Enchiladas were everything I had hoped for and more. Tender, juicy shredded chicken, sauteed with crunchy diced onions and chopped cilantro, smothered in a spicy and smokey sauce is wrapped inside soft whole wheat tortillas, smothered with even MORE sauce and finished off with ooey, gooey, melted cheese. I mean, who can say no to that?!

Finish off your enchiladas with a dollop of low fat sour cream and a sprinkling of fresh chives. This meal is a real crowd pleaser when paired with yellow rice and skillet zucchini and summer squash. Add whatever ingredients tickle your fancy--black beans, veggies, steak, cojita cheese, oh my!
