Mexican food is easily one of my favorite genres of food. I could eat it everyday and in fact we do a Mexican dinner at least one night a week. We usually do tacos but I wanted to switch things up and make enchiladas. I had a packet of ground chicken I was going to stuff peppers with but that didn’t move me so I instead used it to create these enchiladas. They were so easy and so good. As far as enchilada sauce goes I swear by the Frontera brand- both their green and red sauce are amazing. These reheat well so enjoy the leftovers if there are any!
