enchiladas
Hi guys! I love enchiladas.
Whenever I get the chance, this is one of the things I ask my boyfriend to make when I’m not hogging the kitchen :)
My boyfriend makes the best enchiladas! They are my favorite because they are so easy to put together and there’s no baking like most enchiladas recipes call for, so in under 10 minutes my enchiladas cravings are satisfied! Yay me!
Trust me, these will be the quickest enchiladas you’ll ever make!
You can fill these enchiladas with anything your heart desires and it’s a total customizable dish! I prefer just good old regular cheese enchiladas. To add some color and veggies to my enchiladas, I chopped up some fresh cilantro and green onions.
In a large skillet, warm your favorite enchilada sauce. Toss a tortilla in there and fully submerge it in the enchilada sauce making sure that the tortilla is fully coated in sauce.
After you’ve swished your tortilla around in the sauce for about 2 minutes, scoop your tortillas onto a plate. Toss whatever you want in your enchiladas near the middle of the tortilla, then quickly fold the outer edges in. And by quickly, I mean fast because it’ll be hot! Sensitive fingers beware!
And voilà! Cheesy goodness! You can sprinkle some more cheese and some fresh greens on top (in my case, cilantro and green onions). I also paired this with cilantro lime rice (will blog on this soon!).
Now wasn’t that quick? :)
Wishing you a wonderful day! Feel free to share your favorite enchiladas recipe below!

Baked Cheesy Fries

baked cheesy fries
One of my new favorite things is making my own french fries! Okay, not that new lol (see here, here, and here :). I just love baking fries because it’s a quick, easy and a healthier alternative to eating a snack that is normally deep-fried in oil.
Just like my previous french fry recipes, this one is no exception! Another easy peasy munchie to whip up last-minute or on the spur of the moment (ie, cravings)!
Cut potatoes into nice long skinny french fries, and then blanch in a bowl of cold water for a few minutes. Pat the fries until dry, drizzle with grape seed oil and season with Lawry’s and fresh ground pepper…
Spread fries on a wire rack in a single layer and bake in a 425° oven.
Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the fries are brown and crispy…
Eeek! I think I made way too many fries! You can either just remove the rack and use the same baking sheet or transfer the fries to a smaller baking dish. Here I’ve covered the fries with mozzarella, fresh grated parmesan cheese, and crumbled up some New York extra sharp cheddar! What’s so great about this is that you can use whatever type of cheese you have in your fridge because any type of melted cheese is yummy! :)

bacon bits quesadillas
Bacon. Bacon bits. Bacon bits infused with yummy melted cheese. Let me introduce to you the best lunch ever…the bacon bits quesadilla!
Let’s recount how this was created…
- Date: Monday, April 17, 2012
- Time: Noonish
- Location: she cooks, he eats official test kitchen with live-in guinea pig (ie, boyfriend’s house :)
I was saving myself for happy hour, but was suddenly hearing my loud tummy rumblings and feeling those intense hunger pains (kinda like right now while I’m writing this post, ugh this always happens…right foodie bloggers? :).
Anyways, cook some bacon on a pan! My dad use to deep-fry bacon for me as a kid, so I like to cook mine till its extra crispy…
Crumble the cooked bacon, then put handfuls of cheese onto the tortilla and generously sprinkle with bacon bits. Cook on a hot pan until the cheese is melted.
Add some kettle chips and an extra slice of bacon, and voilà lunch is served!
PS, we made it to happy hour :)
Have a wonderful day! And please let me know what you’re having for lunch!
xoxo, kat
