How to Make ‘Lazy Enchiladas’

Traditional Enchilada Recipes Involve Filling Tortillas with a Meat, Cheese, or Vegetable Mixture; Rolling the Tortillas; Smothering Them in Red or Green Sauce (Often Prepared from Scratch); and Baking the Dish. Although These Steps Produce Tasty Results, They Can Be Daunting When You’re in a Hurry.

My Enchiladas Consisted of Beef Taquitos, Green Sauce, and the Cheese Blend. I Also Served Them with Sour Cream, Herdez Chipotle Salsa Cremosa (Buy from Walmart, $2.73), and Chopped Cilantro. I’ll Admit I Was Doubtful as to Whether This Recipe Could Come Close to the Authentic Mexican Enchiladas I’m Used to — but It Was Much Better Than I Expected. the Enchiladas Were Hearty Thanks to the Beef Filling, the Green Sauce Added a Tangy Flavor, and the Salsa Cremosa Gave the Dish a Medium-Spicy Kick. a Dollop of Sour Cream and Sprinkle of Cilantro Rounded out the Richness from the Rest of the Ingredients. I’m Glad I Came Across This Recipe — It’s the Perfect Way Satisfy My Enchilada Cravings on Busy Nights.
