Is This The Easiest Enchilada Recipe Ever?

I’ve probably mentioned this before but I really love traveling. Whenever I get back home from a vacation, I get into this mood that I call “post vacation blues”.

I feel sad, sorry and frustrated, and I know there is no other cure than to start planning for another trip again. Well, in an ideal world we would all have plenty of money and free time to travel anywhere, anytime. Unfortunately I still live in a reality where I need to work for a living, and I’m only able to take a trip about once in two years. So what can I do in the meantime, to make the post vacation blues go away?

Food is the answer to so many problems, this one as well! I have started to cook a special dinner once a week – I pick some of the countries I’d love to visit, and choose a recipe that is common to their cuisine. This way I can pretend for at least one night that I am on vacation, in an exotic place, and it makes it much easier to wait for my next trip again!

“The enchiladas are loaded with cheese! I add in spinach too make them somewhat healthy:) I mix the spinach mixture with sour cream or Greek yogurt to make the enchiladas extra creamy. The enchiladas also have Old El Paso Green Chiles and Green Chile Enchilada Sauce! I top the enchiladas with avocado and cilantro so these enchiladas are green all around and that makes me happy because we all know I LOVE green!”  –according to Maria and Josh of Two Peas and their Pod

If you want something with a little Mexican or Tex-Mex flavor that is tasty but a bit outside the usual options, this Slow Cooker Chicken Enchilada Casserole is a good choice. It’s also really easy to put together.

Is this “traditional”? Well, no, I don’t think you can call it that, but I do like the flavor, and sometimes, you have to be a bit creative and go in a non-traditional direction to keep things interesting and get out of a food rut. And I know that some traditionalists may frown a bit on the “dash of this, can of that” style of cooking, but it is a quick and easy way to mix things up a bit and make a hearty meal. Suffice it to say that I will be breaking out my Crock-Pot for this again.
