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 totally agree that Mexican food is extremely addictive. Once I start eating it, I crave it all the time. This looks wonderful!

    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

    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 Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is that I love Target. It’s my happy place. I get so excited each season to see all the new things that come out. 
🌿
One thing I always love is there faux vase/pot flowers and plants. They are always so pretty and I want to buy them all. But there a couple of things that stops me. The biggest one is that I have no storage for them. Two, they seemed to have gone up in price. They seemed a little pricy to me. 
🌿
For my arrangement, I used one of my canisters for the bathroom. I used floral foam to stick the stems in and I used the paper towel as a filler because I only had very little bit of moss. If I had more moss and I would probably not use the paper towel. This arrangement cost me $5.99. 
🌿
Tip: If you look at Targets faux foliage stems only, they have a lot that are same of what use in there vases. The one I used was Hearth and Hand and was only $5.99 for a stem. The exact ones they used in there pots.
🌿
Hope you enjoy this as much as I have making it. 
Enjoy your day!

My husband decided to take vacation days this week, and my kitchen does not look so pretty. He has his 💩 everywhere. So annoying. 
💖
Here’s a little bit of the styling that I did. I will work on the coffee bar this weekend, though I’m running a blank on how to style it. I need some inspiration.

I’m sharing heart shaped cinnamon rolls that I made this weekend. I got the idea to make them from my friend Heidi @eleanorrosehome. She made the most delicious looking cinnamon rolls, that I couldn’t resist to make. So perfect for Valentines Day and sooooo easy! 
❤️
I took a can of Trader Joe’s cinnamon rolls and unraveled them, if that makes sense, and rolled them up like a palmier cookie. So fun! You could add food coloring to the frosting to make it pink and add sprinkles. Super cute! You can follow step by step recipe on Heidi’s Instagram page! 
❤️
Thank you Heidi for sharing the recipe. This was so fun!
❤️
Would you rather get chocolate or flowers for Valentines Day?

I’m sharing with you my corner of my living room. I love how open this space looks. I added greenery to give it a fresh look. I also stuck with mostly natural colors with an exception of some blues to bring my whole living room together.

Tomorrow I am going to start to share Valentines Day. My dining room is filling up with hearts. It’s so fun. I can’t wait to start sharing. Hope you have a beautiful day!
