Mexican Menu:
Chicken Enchiladas
Spanish Rice
Tossed Lettuce Salad
Mexican food is an ethnic favorite at our house. I must say that I prefer dining out and if the restaurant is authentic Mexican all the better. However over the years we have learned to make our own Mexican food and these Chicken Enchiladas are often on the menu. I don’t recall where I found the original recipe but you can view the recipe below and I have posted it on BigOven.com.
Spanish rice is always a good side for enchiladas. I found an easy, no fuss recipe on BigOven. One reviewer said, “This was delicious! One of the very. best rice dishes I’ve ever had and so easy to make. This is a keeper!” I would have to agree – it is a keeper. You can view the recipe on the BigOven website.
