Your family will go crazy for these!

When my husband and I first bought our house and started having babies, many years ago, we went out to eat way more than what I would like to admit.

It was just about every other night, we were grabbing something from a drive-thru, having a pizza delivered, or going up to the local family restaurant to let them cook for us. It wasn’t my proudest moment I can tell you that much. However, life was too busy, and by the time it was time to eat, the last thing that I wanted to do was go stand in the kitchen for an hour making dinner. It just wasn’t in me at the end of the day.

My husband often requested Mexican food when we went out to eat, and I could tell that it was his favorite. When I was able to cook, he also loved my cooking, so I wanted to see if I could recreate any of his favorite dishes at home. That would be a real treat!

I couldn’t wait to surprise him with these homemade chicken burritos. They were super simple to make, and I thought they smelled amazing. The only thing that we had to wait for was the hubby coming home from work to be the official taste tester of the night.

9/10 Families Say This Is The BEST Enchilada Recipe

My husband loves enchiladas and we had a special day coming up, so I wanted to make sure this meal was going to blow his mind. I posted a simple question on social media (isn’t that what you do these days, whenever you’re trying to find a solution to a problem?)

I asked, “what is your favorite enchilada recipe, and why” – and I must have gotten a dozen replies right off the bat! People were sending me their favorite recipes and very thorough explanations of why they thought theirs was the best in the whole universe.

Of course this meant I had a big problem. How was I going to determine which one of these was the tastiest recipe? I didn’t have the time to test all of them! So all I could do was rely on my friends’ argumentation. And this one made sense; one of my friends had replaced ground beef with flank steak. He said it made a huge difference, even though the rest of the ingredients were pretty much the same he had always used.

Quick Tip: Homemade enchilada sauce will make these even tastier!

Chicken fajitas. The best thing you could possibly order at a Mexican restaurant. They come sizzling hot, letting off smoke that just stinks up your hair. But it is absolutely and totally worth it because it is just that good! The flavor of that chicken is deep, with a little kick of spice. They are delicious, and totally amazing. With every bite of amazing flavor, I am reminded that I should learn to make this at home. So I finally did.

My one beef about ordering fajitas is that they usually do not add enough meat to fill the tortillas. They kind of go cheap on me and I hate that! So I decided that if I made my chicken fajitas at home, I would make more than enough chicken, so no one would feel like they were being gipped. And that is what I did. These chicken fajitas in a crock pot can feed a crowd. It is awesome to make it in the crock pot because you can make enough for everyone without having to fry the chicken little bits at a time. This is the perfect meal to take to a potluck as you will have loads of chicken to serve with this recipe.

We’ve all had a good chicken and cheese quesadilla at least once in our lives, and boy are they good! How about stuffing your tortilla with bacon, egg, and cheese? Now THAT is something to try!

Why haven’t I ever thought of this before!? I’m sure you’ve had breakfast burritos before, but a breakfast quesadilla? Yup, I’m making this ASAP! No need for a quesadilla maker, you can make these right in a frying pan. Top these with some salsa and you are in for one delicious morning meal.

 My husband is crazy about Mexican food. I swear, he could eat it every single day – AND for every single meal of the day! I do like it, too, but I’d rather have more variety when it comes to our dinner routine. However, every Monday we are having Mexican food simply because he can’t live without it! This awesome enchilada recipe has been his favorite for a while already, so today I’m going to share it with you.

The key to this incredible, cheesy-baked Mexican dish, is that it’s swirling in spicy, homemade enchilada sauce. Let the warm tortillas bake in this concoction, and you have an easy recipe, that will please the whole family. Ready in an hour, this recipe yields 6-8 servings, but be quick on the seconds, because this dish never makes it to leftover-land.

Quick tip: Add some hot sauce if you like your enchiladas spicy!

Here’s a new way to eat nachos without the guilt! Rachel Ray does it again, with spicy pulled chicken, zesty Spanish flavors, and a crispy tortilla crunch.

A flavor packed recipe, with tender shreds of chicken, earthy black beans, and full of cheesy tortilla temptation. Although this dish has a lot of ingredients, it’s packed with so much flavor, you’ll want to make it over and over. This casserole is perfect for those days when you need to cook for a large crowd. The recipe serves 6-8, so with a nice green salad and some crusty bread on the side, everyone will be satisfied – and begging for the recipe!

If you’d like to make this dish leaner, you can switch the chicken thighs to chicken breasts and use low-fat cheese. And if you’re short on time, use store-bought salsa instead of making your own Pico de Gallo.
