      • This really look good … the draw may have been the cheese too. I can take or leave green pepper and avocado as well. That’s good … we’ll leave it to the people who like avocado toast. 🙂

  17. Enchiladas a la gringa! Tan sabrosa! For some reason, chicken enchiladas are better with flour tortillas, rather than corn…go figure. I love the dehydrated jalapeño. Great way to keep the garden flavor throughout the year. Thanks for the recipe!
