Chicken Enchiladas – MMMMM

Oh Chicken Enchiladas how I love you – especially with extra extra cheese!

I’m coining a new phrase, Norwegi-Mex.  I’m not a “Tex” and my cooking certainly isn’t “Mex” but take any “tex-mex” dish – eliminate cotija or asadero fancy cheese, add potatoes and copious amounts of Wisconsin Cheddar, and you’ve got a truly stunning Norwegi-Mex concoction.

I made a really simple Enchilada recipe from Everyday Food this weekend, and as I write I’m enjoying the leftovers for Lunch.  This recipe calls for tomatillos – which I admit have intimidated me in the past.  Such odd little berries (berries, not veggies) with your weird paper wrapper and completely disgusting texture…..when blended and cooked with green chile and onions, you make my enchiladas wonderful.

What’s your favorite spin on traditional Tex-Mex?
