Tex Mex is always popular in our house. I love to make traditional enchiladas, but this is a quick alternative if you don’t quite have the time. I love to use chicken thighs, but if you are in a hurry, grab a rotisserie chicken and use that for a super speedy prep. You can adjust the seasonings to taste, i love lots of cumin. If you are roasting your own chicken thighs, be sure to season well with lots of cumin as well. Add whatever extras you like to garnish, I love it all!
