Things I find extremely satisfying:
1) Having all the laundry cleaned, folded, and put away. This happens like, never.
2) When Lars eats all of the food I serve him. #CleanPlateClub
3) Cleaning out the fridge. Though you'd never know it if you opened mine.
4) Cutting into a perfectly ripe avocado. Ahhhhh it's just the best.
But then there's the sad truth that laundry is never completely done, half of the food I put in front of Lars ends up on the floor, all over his face, or in his "bib catcher", my fridge is always stuffed to the max with leftovers, condiments, and multiple half-full cartons of eggs, and (perhaps worst of all) sometimes I think I'm going to cut into a perfect avocado and - womp womp - there's a big 'ol brown spot in it.
I like to think that the fact that these things, as silly as they are, make me so happy is because they don't happen all the time. If they did, I probably wouldn't find them as satisfying.
And for the most part, a brown spot in my avocado is not going to ruin my day. EXCEPT for when I'm counting on that avocado to garnish my enchilada photo. So, that's my long way of saying - sorry about the not-perfect avocado garnishing my ABSOLUTELY PERFECT enchiladas. Okay but enough about the avocado - let's talk about these cheesy, spicy, DELICIOUS enchiladas!
We've all had beef enchiladas, bean enchiladas, and chicken enchiladas - but have you ever had chorizo enchiladas? Even better, have you had chorizo and sweet potato enchiladas?! Now we're talking.
These enchiladas are pure comfort food with the spicy chorizo, sweet potatoes, tangy enchilada sauce and lots of lots of cheese. And while they are delicious without any of the garnishes, the avocado, cilantro, green onion, and queso fresco reallllllly take these up a few notches.
If you're looking to make these a quick weeknight dinner, I'd suggest making the filling a day in advance. Then when it comes time to make dinner all you have to do is assemble and bake. Your family will be begging you for these enchiladas every week!
I can never say no to enchiladas! I love the combo of sweet potato and chorizo and will have to add these to my dinner menu soon.
My husband was just talking about how it's been awhile since we've made enchiladas! I think we'll have to switch up our regular recipe with these!
