About

We love her, but Mama's Enchiladas are what really keep us coming back every Monday night for dinner! (Just don't tell her that!) However, she would be super flattered to know that the way she slow cooks these meaty, cheesy, tangy, wrapped tortillas creates one of the best meals we've ever had. So, maybe we'd be off the hook if we shared that compliment with her (ha)! Regardless, we always have time for Mama's Enchiladas and a nice little smooch from our favorite gal, too! It's the best part of our week!
