Cheese Enchiladas Tex-Mex Style

[songbird]

These CHEESE ENCHILADAS are neither genuine Mexican nor totally Texan, they are TexMex style, these corn tortillas are stuffed with cheese and smothered in a delicious homemade sauce made with the best seasonings, then topped with a fresh Pico de Gallo and sides with refried beans and Mexican rice, it is a very easy and quick meal to prepare.
