With a sauce like this they have so much flavor and I just can't get enough of all that cheeeeese. Add a side of homemade black beans or Mexican rice and you'll have a dinner people will go crazy for!

When we go to Mexican restaurants, enchiladas or tacos of some kind are usually my first choices. I mean, who can resist a good enchilada?

I'm picky about what makes a good enchilada. First off, it's all about that sauce. The sauce makes or breaks an enchilada and this sauce is so delicious!

Second, no flour tortillas! Okay this is totally personal opinion but enchiladas on flour tortillas should never be a thing.

Corn tortillas don't get soggy and mushy. They absorb the sauce better and the flavor is just more fitting.

Third, bring on the cheese! Authentic Mexican enchiladas actually don't have much cheese, I prefer this more American extra cheesy version (and yes I'll even sometimes add more than what's listed here because why not?).

And lastly, let's not bake them so long they dry up and get crispy cheese. I just like to bake long enough to heat through and melt the cheese.

So I guess it's time to get back to real food instead of sharing desserts all week. December was nice with the cookies nearly every day and the sweets galore but I guess it's a good thing it only happens one month out of the year.

Now to get back to easy, healthy dinners. Lately I'm loving this Slow Cooker Chicken Enchilada Quinoa Soup, I've made it probably 6 times already!

The first few times I made it with chicken thighs and corn tortillas then I decided I didn't love the texture of the chicken thighs so I switched to chicken breasts and I wanted to make it even healthier so I swapped the corn tortillas for quinoa.

I also added in some avocados because avocados always go well in Mexican soup right?

This is a recipe you'll want to have every week it's so good! You can't go wrong with a big cozy bowl of it.
