We love Mexican food around here. A lot! Growing up, one of my family’s Sunday night dinner traditions were enchiladas and although they were made with simple ingredients, they were some of the best enchiladas I’ve had in my life. This recipe is my spin on those childhood memories of Sunday night enchilada dinners.

Mami’s Homemade Enchiladas

1 tsp kosher salt
Red Bean Mix
1 can red beans, 15 oz. drained and rinsed
2 tbsp fresh lime juice
1 cup cilantro, chopped
Toppings
8 oz light sour cream
15 oz mild enchilada sauce (about 1.5 cans)

A dancing mouth?! That is a great line. I'm so glad you enjoyed them. 🙂
Ok, I made these three days ago and they were wonderful! Finished the left overs last night and still my mouth was dancing. I'll surely make these more often. Thanks for sharing!
I have a love affair with mexican food at least twice a week. These enchiladas look fantastic!
