Easy Enchiladas

Easy Enchiladas (Beef or Chicken)

WOW!!! These are incredible! Better than the enchiladas at my favorite Mexican restaurant. I absolutely love this. A favorite enchilada recipe of mine.

Because of the many different options, it is also very versatile.

Frying the tortillas gives them texture and develops the flavor better. I will never skip that again, no matter how tempted I am.
