Little Things: Chillaquiles

Workout: 30 minute full-body strength workout

Sometimes I believe laziness is the mother of all inventions!

Case in point: yesterday's dinner!

The thinking went like this:

• I need to use my Mama's homemade enchilada sauce before it goes bad
• Enchiladas for dinner it is, plus a side of pinto beans
• Man, baked enchiladas sound good - but they're a pain to roll!
• I know, let's make chillaquilles instead!
• Maybe I should forget about the beans, one less pan to wash. No, I need the beans to take some of the heat off.
• I know, let's just add the beans to the chillaquilles.
• An egg sounds good, but not another pan to wash.
• I know, let's try the egg setting on my microwave!

Amazingly, the egg came out ok - that's good to know when in a morning rush :)

So that is how I got to this ONE PAN WONDER:



Easy + Delicious = Chillaquiles!

• 8 tortillas
• 1 onion
• 1 can beans of your choice
• 2 cups enchilada sauce
• 2 cups cheese

1. Saute onions in some olive oil then add cut up tortillas, cook for 10 minutes
2. Add the beans, cook for a couple of minutes
3. Add the sauce, cook until desired enchilada thickness
4. Enjoy!

Okay, flipping to Marley + Me and getting the last scene with Marley is just plain wrong!

Off to find something more uplifting and to finish making the rice pudding for tomorrow's pot luck breakfast!

ADios!
