Enchiladas are the perfect dish for your Cinco De Mayo festivities. This recipe is super-easy, quick, and plenty enough to fill up your fun-lovin’ fiesta guests! #howYOUchewin’?!
When thinking about the main dish, we wanted to chew outside of the “shell” so-to-speak. We are self-admitted taco fiends and are currently receiving rigorous food-variation-immersion treatment. As we weighed our options, we tip-toed around the idea of enchiladas. After careful consideration, we figured… why not? A great alternative from tacos (which we kinda already did for appetizers)…baby steps, my friends, baby steps… 
The charred corn pico was a nice addition, and was one of our favorite things about the whole meal. You’ve got to try it!
