enchiladas

Need I say more?

Cheese, beef, chicken, shrimp, even spinach topped with verde, chile con carne, queso or sour cream sauce then wrapped in a tortilla and baked until hot and perfect. Hungry yet?

You truly may not be human if you can't find 1 combination that hits your hot spot. This incredibly versatile dish is as easy to make as it is to devour.

My personal favorites are chicken enchiladas verdes. The problem is that I never write down how I make it. Nor do I make them the same way each time. When I get to improvise and really challenge myself is when cooking gets really fun!

Here's the basics: You need filling. That can be any meat or vegetable that you want and you need it to taste good. So season it with salt and pepper, maybe a little sauteed garlic, onion and cilantro too, and mix it with a little bit of cheese and/or sauce that you're going to top it with. Next you need tortillas. Corn or flour will work, I usually use flour because they hold together better than corn, but I prefer the flavor of corn tortillas- pick your favorite. Then wrap the filling in your tortillas and put the folded side down (so they stay closed) in a baking dish. After you fill your dish, pour the sauce of your choice on top - make sure you cover everything so they'll stay moist and sprinkle with some cheese!

Bake on 350 degrees for about 30 minutes.

Delicious and easier than you thought, right?
