We are back from Hawaii and spending a day at my parents’ house before heading back to San Francisco. This afternoon my mom and I made shredded beef enchiladas with green chile sauce. It was so great to come home and make a home-cooked meal with her after being on vacation for 2 weeks. You can also make these with chicken. I can’t decide which version I like better! What’s your preference? We also made fresh salsa and guacamole to go along with the enchiladas-I was in heaven! Try my mom’s amazing salsa recipe and my guacamole recipe with these enchiladas as a topping.

Being on vacation is great and I always hate coming home but one of the pluses for being back at home is being able to make home-cooking meals again. These enchiladas look amazing.
Nice dish! I’ve made something similar, although it’s been ages. I like both beef and chicken, but I think chicken works slightly better. Good stuff – thanks.
Yum! Oh my gosh your enchiladas look amazing!!! Ohhh, I want to make these for dinner next week!
This looks ridiculously wonderful 😀
