Cheesy Chicken Enchiladas
As I said before, Cheesy Chicken Enchiladas are one of my favorite Mexican recipes. They are so easy to make, the baked tortillas have a really nice crunch (I love crunchy foods!), and this dish is pretty-much fool-proof!
Want in on a little secret?
I thought so! The secret to their slight crunch is the baking method. The assembled enchiladas bake uncovered for the first 10 minutes at a high temperature. Then, the oven temperature is lowered and the enchiladas are topped with sauce and cheese, covered with aluminum foil, and returned to the oven to bake 20 minutes. The final step is to remove the foil and bake uncovered for another five minutes or so to crisp them up!
Having a full-time career sometimes creates challenges for my weekend passion for cooking and blogging. The cooking and blogging are not the problem, but the preparation, planning, and shopping can often take more of my precious weekend hours than I like. I really, really enjoy browsing through cookbooks and food blogs for inspiration and I can completely loose track of time doing it!
Meal Planning Made EASY!
That’s what makes the idea of Kroger’s ClickList so appealing to someone like me. I can plan my menu and at the same time build my shopping list online. With ClickList, it’s literally like having a personal shopper…so ultra convenient, right?!
