Beef & Chorizo Enchiladas
The ultimate cozy weeknight meal, packed with cheese, flavorful meats, & smothered in a dreamy enchilada sauce!
My Beef & Chorizo Enchiladas have earned a top spot among my post popular recipes, and for good reason. This is my ideal cozy weeknight dinner. It comes together in a pinch, and it only requires a couple of steps. I actually inherited this recipe from my mom and tinkered with it to make it even better. Fun fact, this is the first meal I made for my husband when we started dating, and we’re married now (which I believe is a testament to the power of this glorious dish). My enchilada recipe is also my go-to hosting dish because everyone, and I mean everyone loves it. My husband continually asks me to make this for him on repeat, and it’s become a favorite among my friends and family. It’s a meal people ask me to make over and over again, and I’m excited for it to become a weekly staple in your house as well!
