Skillet Enchiladas

April 19, 2013 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 25 Comments

Yah Friday! Hello, hello!

I am so happy it’s officially the weekend, well after I get through this 8 hour workday and then no work!  Don’t get me wrong, I love my job, but it’s so much nicer being home.  You can do what you want, you’re not stuck at a desk and you can enjoy the sunshine.   Speaking of sunshine and a pinch more warm weather, it got me to thinking, can you believe we are almost to May?   That is crazy!  This year is flying by!  Next thing you know Christmas will be here again, I am so not rushing that, but speaking of rushing, I have a quick, one pan dinner just for you!  It’s my ohhh so delicious Skillet Enchiladas!

Skillet Enchilada

I got the idea of making a one pan enchilada skillet by seeing so many skillet lasagna recipes lately and me, being the Mexican food freak, why not make a Mexican skillet?  I love enchiladas, my Husband loves enchiladas, why not give it a whirl and see how it turns out?  Well it exceeded my expectations and apparently my Husbands too!   I made this recipe 4 servings, and those are pretty big servings and my Husband who didn’t seem overly thrilled about Mexican yet again, ate 3/4’s of the pan.  Yup, by the time I finished my little plate, he had the pan almost gone!!

Skillet Enchiladas


I had a jar of Trader Joe’s enchilada sauce, but I saw all of the sodium in it and I thought, I’ve made enchilada sauce before, it’s so simple, why not make again for this dish?  So I did and I am happy that I did!  My sauce is obber easy to make and is so tasty.  All it is, is tomato sauce, garlic powder, cumin, chili powder and salt.  I didn’t even heat it!  This is a one skillet meal, so why make two pots dirty? I’ll be honest, I am sooooo bad with food descriptions, the best I can tell you is that the sauce has a slight smoky taste, a little spicy, but not a hot spice, it tastes like enchilada sauce.  I think you will be pleased with it!

Skillet Enchilada

I cooked the lean ground beef with some green chili’s, added half the enchilada sauce, topped with cheese, two corn tortilla shells, more enchilada sauce and more cheese.  So perfect!  The one dish skillet really tastes like an enchilada and is such a time saver.  No baking the enchiladas is what I love and it tastes just as good as baked, if not better!  This meal is quick and took about 20 minutes to make and my Husband, about 5 minutes to eat!

Skillet Enchilada

For topping of my enchilada, I used avocado, fresh tomatoes, greek yogurt, jalapenos and hot sauce.   Mmmmm, it was amazing!  My Husband just added some of the fresh tomatoes.  He’s purely into the beef part, I like the whole combination of it all!  I was hoping for leftovers to have for lunch, but that didn’t happen tonight!  Kind of stinky, I was looking forward to having it again!  I’m not kidding you, I could eat Mexican every night!  Last week I made my Chipotle Bowl salad everyday for lunch and even had it for dinner two nights.  I told you I love Mexican.  My Husband was shocked when I made stir fry the other night, he said your not having that salad again?  I don’t know what is wrong with me, but I just love my Mexican dishes!

Skillet Enchilada

I am telling you I love this meal!  I would love to try it with chicken, but my Husband does not like chicken and tomatoes together, so weird, and I still can’t get over that, so that means no Chicken Enchiladas, no Chicken Parmesan and so many other dishes I want to make that is tomato and chicken based.  Makes me crazy!  No really, it really makes me crazy!  I don’t get that?  So you may not see those dishes on my blog, unless I figure out a way to make a dish that will make him happy too!  Or I say screw it and make it anyway!  🙂  It’s funny how we have such different taste in food.  So many people tell me that their Husbands eat anything theyserve, but no not my Husband.   I think that is why I make so many fend for yourself meals!  Ok, I’m rambling and I am sure you have better things to do then read about my ramblings!  🙂  Sorry about that!

Have a great weekend!!!

Toodles,

Jennifer

      I think they would be fabulous that way! I love chicken enchiladas, but my Husband doesn’t, but I like the idea of green enchilada sauce. I think I’ll try that next time, then maybe my Husband will eat it since he doesn’t like tomatoes and chicken together! Awesome idea!

    I love one-pan meals, so much less washing up! This skillet enchilada looks so, so delicious – I love it when bloggers reform classic dishes to make them simpler for the busy cook! Well done Jen 🙂 Re the chicken and tomatoes… is he non-reformable?! He’s missing out on so much delicious goodness! When we first started dating, my husband had a few things that he ‘disliked’ (like brussels sprouts and kale) but I’ve managed to get him to love them by just cooking them in different, delicious ways (especially when I combine them with foods he loves, like bacon… if it’s got bacon in it, he’ll eat it). Anyway, you’re a lovely wife. And I hope that you can have some quality chicken parma nights in the near future! xx

    Hi Jennifer,

    I made this for dinner tonight. It was totally delicious!!!! And my husband sounds a lot like yours….while I topped mine with chopped tomatoes, sliced avocado, jalapeños, hot sauce (didn’t have any Greek yogurt) my husband ate his plain….lol

    I have to say that he is not easily impressed when I try recipes I find online……he went back for seconds with this! So YAY!!! A winner!!!! Thanks so much for sharing another great recipe!

    Hugs,

Happy Wednesday. I am sharing with you my little o Happy Wednesday. I am sharing with you my little outdoor space with our lounge chairs. Truthfully I wanted to get rid of the lounge chairs as they take up so much room and we never lay on the chaises. However, over the winter my husband made new cushions for the them and I didn’t have the heart to get rid of them. He made the cushions for our dog Samantha who passed away this winter. She loved laying on the lounge chairs. The boys don’t like to sit on them, unless you are on them too. 
☀️
I do like the color combination of this space. It’s relaxing and I just love the Gerbera flowers. I wish I could keep the pillows on them, but my little Sully 🐶loves to tear apart pillows. So the pillows are living in my living room. I’ll bring them back outside if we have guests. 
☀️
Have a wonderful day!

Hello, hello! Long time no see. Life has been busy Hello, hello! Long time no see. Life has been busy the past month or so, and I haven’t really had much to share with you, but this week I am on vacation so hopefully I can get some content to share. 
💙
I am sharing with you one last look of my blues in my living room, as I plan on adding some yellow. I’d like to say with the warmer weather it’s time for Summer decor, but it has been unseasonably cool here. We are still in the 70’s and windy. Great for the plants, but not me. I need some 80’s. This is just wacky weather!
💙
What’s the weather where you live?

My patio area is kind  of an awkward space because we used to have a large pool that we took out a few years ago. We built our space around the pool. So we have lots of odd corners, but it works for us. I really like my backyard.

I went with light cool colors for my backyard space because of the heat and sun. I have always loved the coastal look. I do love to add a pop of color with flowers. Give me all the flowers! 

I hope you check out everyone’s outdoor space. I love this time of year and I can always use more outdoor inspiration.

Happy Wednesday! My friend Kelly @farmtotablecreat Happy Wednesday! My friend Kelly @farmtotablecreations made a gorgeous DIY Tabletop Firepit and I had to run out and got all the pieces to make one of my own. Kelly’s is so gorgeous and fun. Perfect for evenings outside.
🩵
However, when I started to make mine I realized that my dogs are to interested in it, as you can see from the video. I was afraid they would try to get close to the fire and burn themselves. So I came up with another idea, where I could get the same effect without the fire.
🩵
A couple weeks ago my friend Claire @huntersridge_designs shared some solar candles that I thought were pretty, and would be great to use on my table. I’m a sucker for anything solar. 😂 So of course I ordered some. I decided to use the solar candles in my pot in place of the tiki fire. I think it turned out great. I just need to add a few more rocks to it, which I’ll get this weekend.
🩵
Be sure to check out Kelly @farmtotablecreations to see her firepit and also check out how Claire @huntersridge_designs styled her solar candles. Both of there accounts are inspiring.
🩵
Have a wonderful day!!

Happy Wednesday! I have spent so much time working Happy Wednesday! I have spent so much time working outside that I have not worked on decorating my dining room for Mother’s Day or Spring. It’s a bare slate as of right now. So I thought I would share with you last years tablescape that I did for Mother’s Day.
💗
This Mother’s Day,(Saturday) little Jenny is taking me to the @gratoncasino to get a pedicure and possibly lounge at the pool, if it is warm enough outside. Then we will go for a nice lunch. I can’t wait. Sunday, I’ll spend Mother’s Day with the boys. 🐶🐶
💗
Hope you have a fabulous day!!

Happy Monday! I’ve had a semi-productive weekend Happy Monday! I’ve had a semi-productive weekend in between the rain and cold. It was pretty chilly to me. I did get some plants planted and my husband added a new drip line in my big garden. Hopefully my flowers will thrive better this year. 
🌷
On Friday, I watched 3 episodes of Firefly Lane on Netflix. If you like girl type series, I highly recommend. It’s so well written. It’s about best friends growing older together. Unfortunately this is the last of the series. I’ll miss it. I also read that Yellowstone will come back in November and that will be the end of the series. I’ll miss that show. At least I have Virgin River to look forward too. My husband likes Virgin River too.
🌷
Anyway, here is a view of my clean kitchen. I put together this little vignette for Mother’s Day inspiration. I love the Italian Soda from Trader Joe’s, but boy does it give me bad heartburn. I always just drink a little. Actually, anything sparkling, except regular soda, gives me heartburn. So strange. 
🌷
Have a great week!

Happy Saturday! Wow I haven’t shared on a Saturd Happy Saturday! Wow I haven’t shared on a Saturday in forever. Today we are getting rain again. Last week it was 90 and sunny and now back to the 60’s, but we are going to hit 90 by next weekend. I can’t wait. I’m over this wacky weather we are having. 
💙
I took down my Easter decor a few weeks ago and went back to using blues and greens in the living room. I think the colors look fresh and clean. Once the weather gets nicer, I’ll start to add in some yellows. I love yellow for the summer.
💙
Next weekend is Mother’s Day. Do you have any plans for the holiday?

Have a wonderful weekend!

Happy Wednesday! I am so excited to share with you Happy Wednesday! I am so excited to share with you how I styled @myclaireburke pieces that I received. Let me tell you I love Claire Burke. I have been using there products for more than 25 years.
💗
In my 20’s, I used to go to Macy’s with my mom and in the bedding department they had a section of Claire Burke. I always bought there Original Scent potpourri. It smells like spring flowers with roses and lavender and it’s also beautiful to look at.
💗
If you are looking for a Mother’s Day gift, I highly recommend. I love the Original scent, if you like a floral scent. If you are more for fresh clean scent, the Sea Salt and Grapefruit is amazing. If you like fresh linen I recommend Wild Cotton. I promise they won’t disappoint. Oh and the Electric Fragrance Warmer is also Claire Burke. Works fabulous! 
💗
My Claire Burke ships fast too! They were kind enough to give my followers a 20% discount code: PBANDP.

Have a beautiful day!!

Happy Monday! This weekend I was finally able to g Happy Monday! This weekend I was finally able to get outside and work on my patio space, but unfortunately I don’t think I’ll be able to enjoy it this week. We are back to winter temps, high winds and rain. They are calling it “May Gray”. Such weird weather this year. 
🌼
I was able to put out my new rug that you all helped me to pick out. I just love the blue. I decided to go with blues and yellows for my outdoor space. I think the yellow brightens up the space. I just need to get more flowers because after all you can never have too many flowers. 
🌼
I wanted to also share with you my new side table from @vicllax_outdoor. I love the white color. It really helps to brighten this space. The table is made of metal, comes in 4 colors and is easy to put together. This table is perfect for a small space too. I couldn’t be happier. 
🌼
Have you setup your patio space yet?

Happy Tuesday! This weekend we had amazing weather Happy Tuesday! This weekend we had amazing weather. Sunny, light breeze and in the 70’s. I did a lot of yard clean-up. I just need some dirt and my raised beds will be ready for planting.
🌼
I planned on working on the patio area, but time just went to fast. My husband repaired the trellis that fell over from the wind. We had the Morning Glory on it, but we got rid of it because it is highly toxic to dogs. I ordered a climbing rose from Heirloom Roses that will be delivered next week. 
🌼
I’m sharing with you the Beverage Tub that I bought from Target that I am using as a planter. My husband drilled 1/4” holes 4” apart on the metal insert.  I added a pot to the tub to give the flowers a lift. The handles on the tub are not bendable and I didn’t want to break the flowers and I wanted it to be easier to lift the flowers out, if I decide to change the flowers.
🌼
I love the look! Once I work on the patio area, I’ll move the table and flowers to the patio area. So excited to be working outside. Have a beautiful day!
