Happy Cinco de Mayo! Not that I need a reason to eat Mexican food, my absolute favorite, I made these fantastic Breakfast Taquitos to celebrate. They may be called “Breakfast ” Taquitos, but you really could eat them any time of day.

These take a little prep time so next time I think I will double the batch. Then freeze the extras for later in the week when my cravings for these little buggers kick in… That is if there are any extras left 🙂

Chicken Quinoa Enchilada Bake

Food, Main Dishes, Mexican, Recipes, , , , , ,

I know, I know, I have yet another quinoa recipe. I bought this huge bag at Costco and I haven’t even made a dent in it. Good thing the fam loves the stuff!  Annnd it just so happens to be Cinco De Mayo next week so I was thinking Mexican.

Chicken Quinoa Enchilada Bake

This is an awesome week night recipe and leaves plenty of leftovers for lunch the next day. And my favorite part is I only used one pan for this dish! I have mentioned before how much I loooove my Lodge cast iron skillet, but it truly is one of my favorite pans. It’s inexpensive, durable, and goes from stove top to oven.

Back to the Enchilada Bake… The recipe is pretty basic so feel free to add any of your favorite toppings!
