Enchilada Meatballs
Enchilada Meatballs are my new favorite creation 😊 They taste just like the real thing and have amazing Tex-Mex flavor. They are tender, juicy meatballs made from ground beef, ground turkey, or ground chicken (you pick), topped with a mild enchilada sauce, beans, corn, and plenty of melted cheese. Super yummy and super customizable. The recipe can be found here. Start by preheating the oven to 375 degrees F, then prepare all ingredients: mince the garlic, chop the cilantro, onion, and jalapeno, drain, and rinse the black beans, and drain the corn. Set all aside until ready to use. Add the ground meat (beef, turkey, or chicken) to a mixing bowl, along with the breadcrumbs, egg, garlic, cilantro, chili powder, cumin, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined. I like to use my hands to really mix everything together. I find it works better than a spoon but do what you prefer. Then use a cookie scoop (or your … Continue reading

Breakfast Enchiladas
Breakfast Enchiladas are a great way to start your day! Enchiladas are tortillas that are filled with various ingredients, rolled up, covered with sauce, and baked to perfection. For my Breakfast Enchiladas, I’m swapping a typical enchilada sauce for whisked eggs, and filling the inside with cheese and diced ham. These Breakfast Enchiladas can be customized to meet your taste preferences. I used diced ham, but you could use bacon or sausage. I used white onion, but you could substitute with bell peppers, mushrooms, spinach, etc. Really make these your own and use the recipe below as a guide for quantities! Another plus side of this recipe is you can make the Breakfast Enchiladas the day before and bake when you are ready. You can also make them the morning of…. like really early the morning you plan to bake if you are an early riser. You want the dish … Continue reading

Vegan Vegetable Enchiladas
Last night we tried our hand at Vegan Vegetable Enchiladas. The difference between these enchiladas and “traditional” enchiladas is the lack of meat and dairy. We substituted both with vegan alternatives. I’ll admit, the end result doesn’t look very pretty but it tasted amazing! These are packed full of vegetables and have incredible flavor. We replaced ground beef with chopped mushrooms, added additional vegetables, and used a vegan cheese that tastes very similar to provolone. If you did a blind taste test, I don’t think you would be able to tell the difference! The recipe can be found here. Start by preheating the oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9×13 baking dish with cooking spray. Add about ½ cup of the enchilada sauce to the bottom of the pan and spread around. I used canned enchilada sauce but feel free to use a homemade recipe if you have one. Next, … Continue reading
