In the final installment of the cheese enchilada story,  I’m giving you the quick and easy method for making cheese enchiladas.  I almost title them “slacker mom enchiladas” because they’re so easy.

Honestly, I think my kids liked this version the most.  I had to make a second batch of these.  These photos are from my foodie blog archives and use a mixture of real and processed cheese.  I know you can make them without the processed cheese.  You need to use some kind of cheese that melts into smooth creaminess.

First, put some grated cheddar cheese on some corn tortillas.

Yesterday, I posted a story about 4 year old Watty bringing me a “recipe” for Cheese Enchiladas and then expecting me to make them.  I did, but I didn’t have all the ingredients.  I didn’t have canned enchilada sauce, but found a recipe for it.  The recipe called for canned tomato sauce, but I didn’t have any.  So I made some.   Feel free to use canned tomato sauce.  My recollection is the homemade sauce was delicious, but I don’t think I ever went to the effort of making it again.

Here’s the very convoluted recipe for making Cheese Enchiladas – The Hard Way.

If you haven’t finalized your menu for July 4th, this watermelon salad recipe could fit into your plans. It’s quick, cool, and easy. It looks really fancy if you’re trying to impress people, and it just plain tastes good too. Between the cool crisp watermelon and the minty freshness, it really perks me up on a sweltering summer day.  It works well with a barbque, but it also is a great low calorie snack.

If you got here hoping for a recipe about how to make enchiladas, sorry.  I’ll post that recipe soon.  It’s a really good recipe.  Honest.

As I’ve mentioned before, I used to have a food blog.  It was pretty, I loved it, but I had to stop.  I listed my reasons in a previous post, and as I disclosed then, I’m slowly re-using content from my other blog.  Not all of it, just the good stuff.

I wanted to share Watty’s recipe for making cheese enchiladas from a few years back.  He was four, and he drew the pictures.  He was so proud!  He told me the exact recipe and everything.  Then he fully expected me to cook enchiladas for dinner.

Step 1: get the stuff to wrap the cheese in (notice the purple swirling lines, those are the tortilla part)

If you’ve ever wondered what life is like with two under two, here’s a little peek. Elapsed time? About two minutes.  Ages?  GoGo is 4 or 5 months old.  Watty is 20 to 21 months.  I was feeling about 80.
