Ole!
For dinner tonight I decided to finally make a recipe that I saw on Jenna’s blog a while back: chicken enchiladas. Her pictures looked super mouthwatering & appetizing so I knew it would be a yummy dish! I used whole wheat tortillas, a lb. of chicken (which I baked in bite-size pieces at 350 degrees for 30 minutes or so), 2 jalapenos (chopped), 1 green pepper (diced), El Paso enchilada sauce, Nature’s Path Organic Salsa, ff sour cream, and shredded cheddar & jack cheese.
Here’s the prep picture:
And the finished product, complete with a side of salsa-corn (just boiled the corn in 1/2 cup water + 1/2 cup salsa):
A view of the inside:
Thoughts? This dish is purely amazing! It was super easy to prepare, especially if you make the chicken ahead of time. I love all of the spicy flavors combined with the chicken & cheese – truly a flavor explosion! I felt like I was eating some super yummy & authentic Mexican dish at a restaurant
On A Side Note…
I also want to thank the lovely JennGirl for giving me an amazing blog award:
You have no idea what this means to me
I am so happy that she likes the blog and found it worthy of an award – it made my day! Upon receiving this award, I realized that I have been blogging for 9 months! I can’t believe that, then again I can because I can’t imagine my life without the blogging community either. Her post, which is featured here, really hit home with me because all of the bloggers she mentioned have been huge inspirations to me as well not just for meal or snack ideas but also in terms of fitness goals and healthy balances!
Now it’s off for some Sunday night R&R and Phils-watching (until I fall asleep of course). Our Eagles won, so let’s hope the Phils can now







yummm – these look great!!!
Congrats on the award, you totally deserve it! 9 months of pure pleasure blog reading
