It’s 4pm in my house and it’s just dawned on me that I am the one in charge of cooking around here. Perfect. True – I love to cook. I genuinely do and am fairly good at it when I really put my back into it. But what I’m not so great at is cooking, plus handling baseball schedule, her math homework, my blog, calling my family back, picking up prescriptions, crap I forgot to grocery shop….you know the drill. So I have a repertoire of last minute go-to dinner’s. This enchilada recipe is in them and it’s a no fail one for my family!

Recipe Notes
Most grocery stores sell several different brands of salsa verde. It may also be labelled as Tomatillo sauce. Both work well! I buy a few jars at a time and keep some beef and onion frozen so I can defrost and cook in a pinch!
