Enchiladas are a delicious meal that always brings joy to me and my family when we eat them. They are a warm and flavorful meal that can be enjoyed by everyone. However, there may be ingredients that people, like myself, are allergic to. My goal is to give an enchilada recipe that can be enjoyed by all. In my recipe, I will include adding chicken. However, if you would like to eat a vegetarian alternative, simply skip the step of adding the chicken.
