When it comes to the perfect meal, we’d be hard pressed to think of anything better than enchiladas. You’ve got meat, you’ve got veggies, you have two kinds of cheese, and then it’s wrapped in a flour tortilla, and topped with a lip-smacking sauce and more cheese – but this time it’s melty cheese.
To quote Gus from Psych, “C’mon, Son.”
As a super bonus, the enchilada sauce comes together in minutes and it’s made with ingredients we bet live in your pantry. It’s kind of the ultimate weeknight meal if you’re looking for a jaw droppingly delicious plate of food.
And, isn’t that what we all want at the end of the day?
Just a really, really, really, good plate of food.
