I am sucker for Mexican food. I love the cheesy and spicy goodness with every bite. It isn’t always easy because with our busy schedules, sometimes we have to rely on a quickly made meal at home rather enjoying a night out. Well, that is until I started using my Crock Pot to it’s fullest potential. My newest creation: Crock Pot Enchiladas.
Sounds good? Of course they do! Recipe is below!
Some people have the impression that in order to get authentic tasting Mexican food you have to visit an authentic Mexican restaurant and that is just not the case!
I’ll tell you that as long as you know what you are doing, you can make it taste as if the Mexican food was take-out. But the really good take-out. 😉
The thing I love most about this recipe is that is combines 2 of my favorite things: simplicity and my Crock Pot.
It’s just so simple to make. While this is certainly a favorite dinner dish in my home, you can even make up a quick batch for lunch or a last-minute gathering. Heck, it’s even the perfect recipe for Cinco De Mayo!
I do want to add that since this post was written, I actually found an even better Crock Pot to use for making recipes such as this one. I fell in love with the Crock Pot Casserole because it’s wide and perfect depth for making enchiladas, chili, tacos, chicken casseroles, potatoes, etc. You can find the exact one I now use here.
