I am a big fan of homemade Mexican food. Beans, sour cream, avocado, cheese, tortillas ... what's not to love? The ingredients are delicious, and versatile. With a few pantry staples and spices, you can whip up your own version of a taquito, enchilada, burrito, quesadilla, etc! My first attempt at chicken enchiladas was back in
April but I knew I needed to try them again. For lunch today, I decided to make them, but minus the red sauce. My goal was to use ingredients I had on hand and to not run to the store last minute!
I had some leftover chicken cutlets in balsamic vinegar from
dinner last week, so I shredded them and then marinated them with lime juice, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, salt, and pepper.
Next I diced some slices of Swiss and muenster cheese, and started to form the enchiladas. I rolled the chicken, black beans, and cheese bits in corn tortillas.
Assembled enchiladas, with cubed cheese on top.
Baked, golden brown, bubbly goodness!
I mashed up an avocado with a bit of lime juice and salt and slathered it on top of the enchilada pieces, along with some sour cream.
Yum! :)
That bubbly brown cheese looks amaaaazing :) Although I live in Southern California, I've only had enchiladas once in my life! Pretty unbelievable right? haha! I think it's time i made some.
