Enchilada Mac & Cheese

Oh man, I think I have found the mother of all comfort food – enchilada mac & cheese.  The perfect combination of two of my favorite foods.  It kind of reminds me of hamburger helper, but SO MUCH better and just as easy.  I was looking for a recipe that sparked my interest this week when I came across this.  Now, keep in mind, I have been working out quite a bit lately and watching what I eat (bathing suit season is coming soon – or that is what  I keep telling myself even though it is in the low 20’s today), so when I saw this,  my mouth started salivating.  I knew I had to let myself splurge and try this out.   

Chicken Enchiladas

The holidays are a time to spend with family which is exactly what I am doing.  Like most families around the holidays, many things revolve around great food.  For my family, when you think of the usual Christmas cuisine, enchiladas are not the first food to come to mind.  However, since we have a few days until Christmas, I thought I would try a new recipe I stumbled on. I knew it was a hit when my brother said “this is great!” as he was shoveling another bite into his mouth and then again the next morning when the fam was warming them up to eat for breakfast.  Don’t be afraid of the onions and green chilies...the enchiladas still are pretty mild.  Enjoy!
