    A great weeknight meal that you can serve to your family or it's fancy enough to serve to guests! This is one of my families all time favorite recipes that we make again & again. This recipe is made with chicken thighs which are super affordable & can feed a crowd! It is also time convenient because you can prepare this meal earlier in the day & just leave it in a warm dutch oven until you are ready to heat up again, and it is still just as good!

    Enchilada Verde Recipe

The beef was seasoned to perfection and the cheese was perfectly melted.
