Enchiladas- Easiest Dinner Recipe

These are really, really good. I haven’t seen a recipe for enchiladas that’s really like this one so I felt it was really worth sharing.

If you are paying a lot for cheese in your part of the world, you can stretch this a little by adding beans.  It still works out to being cheaper than takeout pizza or even the drive-thru.  I have made these with both flour and cornmeal tortillas and both are dandy. Go with your preference. I like to serve this with a nice, crisp salad. Nothing else is needed, these are very filling. Read more

Undercooked is too mushy and overcooked is too dry. When the top is golden brown and it has puffed sufficiently- its ready! Read more

Feta Cheese Herb Turnovers

Continuing with the cheese theme (something I never get tired of personally:) is this fun recipe that  I also found in Deborah Madison’s Vegetarian Cooking For Everyone.
