Life in Michigan's Upper Peninsula

Back to reality and Enchiladas!

OOTD {spring come faster}
Not enough time in the day

It’s my last day of break… booo! It’s gonna be hard to go back. Only 8 weeks left. Then I’ll be free!

summer 2013

It’s gonna start to get busy again- softball and track, plus basketball open gyms. At least it’s getting warmer! I am just so sick of this nastiness. But April showers bring May flowers, right?

The other great thing about this time- it’sΒ baseball season!!Β Go Tigers! So now 3 hours of every day will be spent watching the tv. Another World Series appearance? I hope so!

Today we went to church then supported the breakfast after. They served pancakes, eggs, bacon, sausage, biscuits, the whole lot. I didn’t over eat too much like I normally do!

We ran some errands and I have softball later. Watching the Tigers right now… darn Yankees!

10 oz can of enchilada sauce (we used green chile)

Directions

Preheat oven to 375

Spray bottom of 9×13 pan then lightly cover the bottom with sauce

Saute spinach with olive oil until slightly wilted

In a large bowl combine chicken, black beans, spinach, corn, 1.5 cups cheese and spices

Fill tortillas with mixture

Place rolled tortillas in pan. Leave ends open and seal with a toothpick

Pour remaining sauce over tortillas and sprinkle the rest of the cheese on top

Bake for 20 minutes

Enjoy!

We definitely made way too much. I hardly finished 2 and mom had 1. They are superΒ filling.Β Next time I’d say a half batch! They were a bit spicy for my taste, but mom loved them. Taking one for lunch tomorrow!

How was everyone’s weekend?

Got any exciting plans this week?

    Ugh I’m just so over school! I’m sure high school will be much better. They did look pretty good, but honestly they weren’t that great!
