Avocado Ranch Chicken Enchiladas
I have to thank my older daughter for helping me out with taking the photo above. She was downstairs watching me take my food photos and she said her mouth was watering as she was eyeing these enchiladas. She wanted to know how long it would be before she could eat them. After what I’m sure seemed to be an eternity, I told her I was done and she carried the plate upstairs. She was not thrilled when I had the idea of taking a photo with her on our front steps. She had no idea how to pose so I told her to make it look like she was serving the plate to someone. I’d say she nailed it.
Please don’t hate on me for using Velveeta. It is the yummiest, creamiest “pasteurized recipe cheese product” on the planet! It helps the enchilada sauce to be thick and smooth. If your sauce is too thin, it will make the tortillas soggy. I find it helps to melt the Velveeta first before adding it to the blender.
Here are the ingredients for enchiladas. You can adjust the spiciness of this dish by choosing a mild, medium or hot salsa.

Here are a few of my posts: Reverse Seared New York Strip Steak (never over-cook your steak again, seriously!), and these Incredibly Simple Potato Cakes which are made from instant mashed potatoes and fried in avocado oil. One of my most popular recipes is this Copycat Olive Garden Braised Beef and Tortelloni. Also, here’s a helpful Acne Product Review for Proactiv vs. Curology and which one works best for my older daughter.
And the finished product! I added sour cream and sliced green onions as a garnish.
I like eating this with a side of tortilla chips and guacamole.
