Nothing But Cheese Enchiladas

This super easy recipe for Nothing But Cheese Enchiladas is perfect when you’re in the mood for a good (and quick) Tex-Mex meal.

All I need to hear is the word cheese and I am pretty much sold on the idea. Back home in Louisiana, we ate a LOT of seafood and Southern comfort food, but once I migrated to the Lone Star state I got the opportunity to taste some really good Tex-Mex dishes.

I can’t remember the exact restaurant I went to when I first came to visit, but I do remember ordering the cheese enchiladas and I knew I had to add a recipe to my line up on a regular basis. The sharpness you get from the cheddar cheeses along with the rich flavors from the enchilada sauce creates a party in your mouth – and the homemade guacamole joins in the fun.

You can allow your inner cheese lover to come to the forefront with this dinner idea. Pair this with a homemade bowl of guacamole, pico de gallo, and sour cream and be prepared to be satisfied.
