Easy Enchiladas!
One of my favorite things to eat besides Italian food is Mexican. I enjoy going to Mexican restaurants and eating their food. Most Mexican restaurants serve a lot of food. I love that because I can get two meals out of one dish. I love socializing at a restaurant with family and friends. I enjoy sitting down at the restaurant and having chips and dips. When I am at home, I love to cook Mexican food. When I cook Mexican food, it is pretty basic and probably not authentically correct. In America, we surround ourselves with many different cultures. We also exposed ourselves to different types of foods in this country. That is what makes America a unique place to live. Over the years, we have Americanized many dishes found in other place’s around-the-world. It is hard to know what is authentically correct when searching for recipes online or in a cookbook. In California, Mexican food is something everyone seems to enjoy. In this state, you will see a lot of Mexican restaurants, street vendors selling Mexican food, or simply grocery stores that only sell Mexican food. When you are native and raised in California, Mexican food seems to be the only food people look forward to in this state. When people leave California to visit other places, Mexican food is not the same as elsewhere. Every person in California will tell you this to be the truth. Growing up, my mom used to make enchiladas. She always made easy enchiladas. Cooking easy recipes was something my mom always did. She took after her mom when it came to cooking. She wanted to make recipes that did not have a lot of ingredients. She also wanted to make simple recipes. Growing up, she would make these simple enchiladas. For this recipe, she always used ground turkey. Instead, I made it with chopped chicken instead to change it up. It was a great dinner! It was fun cooking this simple meal.
