Mmmm…enchiladas! Laura and I used to have a recipe similar to this that we’d make on regular rotation. For some reason, that’s fallen by the wayside. I totally want to make this recipe sometime during the holiday break now. It’s perfect comfort food!
Looks like a fantastic weekday meal!
What a neat recipe! VERY creative. Not to mention tasty looking. Love enchiladas, and this is such a fun way to make and serve them. Thanks!
Wow, I’ve never thought of doing such. Brilliant, I think you have made lasagiladas. I’ve used leftover lasagna filling and made burritos, so why not switch it around. Thanks for the idea.
Like the idea of using lasagna for the enchiladas…delicious and super easy. Thanks for the recipe Dawn.
Have a great rest of the week!
