These Easy Cheater Enchiladas are on the table with minimal effort and taste like homemade.
When I was a girl, I can remember my mom making enchiladas. She would heat oil in a pan, dip the tortillas in it, fill them with cheese or meat and lay them in a pan. It was so much work, but they were totally worth it. Wanting to learn how to make them, I helped her on a few occasions. It was trickier than I thought. If you didn’t dip the tortillas long enough, they wouldn’t roll very well and sometimes cracked. If you dipped them too long, they simply fell apart. Definitely an art form.
After I got married, I would sometimes make them for my small family. However, as our family grew and activities became more abundant, I made them less and less. I needed quick and easy, and they were just too time consuming.
Several years ago, I had an epiphany. Going off of Mark’s ‘work smarter not harder’ motto, I discovered a way to make enchiladas without all the hard work. They come together quickly {we’re talking 5 min} and are ready to eat in less than 45 min. Plus, they taste fantastic!
