It’s a fact that my family loves Mexican food.  Reno isn’t such a hot-bed of good Mexican food restaurants.  We really do miss the awesome taco shops of southern California!  So I happen to make a lot of Mexican food dishes at home to compensate for our loss.  For dinner last week, I surprised my family with some enchiladas.

I always, always use my recipe for homemade enchilada sauce when I’m making enchiladas.  For some reason the canned variety just doesn’t taste right to me.  These enchiladas are stuffed with a mixture of spiced beef + chili beans and cheese.  They’re wrapped with lightly fried corn tortillas.

Enchilada sauce covers the filled tortillas.

And there is a generous sprinkle of cheese added on top.

We like to top our enchiladas with plenty of avocado and sour cream.  I recommend you try eating them that way too.  Our family was a bunch of happy campers having our favorite for dinner!
