Salsa Verde Chicken Enchiladas – Supper for a Steal

The #SundaySupper group put forth a challenge for us. Could we make a delicious dinner with just five ingredients?

Right before this theme was announced I had made these enchiladas, and if you made salsa verde for these from scratch they wouldn’t cut it. I had taken the easy route with store bought salsa verde. I don’t think it makes these super easy enchiladas any less tasty. Believe me they are spicy and delicious.

Pepper jack cheese is key for flavor here. I have been on such a spicy food kick during my pregnancy and I’m thankful for none of that miserable heartburn I hear others talk about. I crave spicy foods and I just could imagine not indulging that craving.

As you can see, a delicious meal is just 4 ingredients and 10 minutes of prep time away. Make sure to add these enchiladas to your meal plan this week.
