  1. The fajita chicken enchiladas look super simple and I can’t wait to try them. My family loves my homemade enchiladas but they take so long to prep, roll and bake so being able to go from table to tummy in less than 45 minutes is a win in my book. Oh and we always add a sprinkle of cotija cheese on top. Cotija pairs so well with crema and adds a touch of authenticity.

  3. Now this would be a much easier recipe that making everything from scratch like I usually do for chicken enchiladas! What a time saver this will be during the school year when I feel like we are running at top speed all the time.

  4. Thanks for these recipes. We can set up a day when all we will have are Mexican dishes. My family will probably ask me to schedule another day like that. We love enchiladas, burritos, tacos, and all that spicy goodness!
