Who doesn't need some homemade Mexican food in their life right now?! This Cheesy Chicken Enchilada Recipe is not only super easy to make and freezer friendly, but a HIT with my family!
This post was originally published on 3/5/13. I thought I would update it. This was originally for a review of MexAmerica tortillas, they had let me try out a variety of their tortillas. Their website is down and I haven't seen any current updates on their social media, so I thought I would re-do this post for y'all. My husband loves these enchiladas and they are so super easy. PLUS they are a hit with the kiddos too! You are definitely going to want to pin and re-pin again! :D
