POBLANO CHICKEN ENCHILADA CASSEROLE
I've begun making my enchiladas casserole style, which saves a lot time, not to mention burned fingers. :) However, everyone still raves over my enchiladas, and this recipe recently earned a round of applause when I made them on a skiing holiday. The sauce is actually a modified Alfredo recipe and is also great over fajitas.

ENCHILADAS ACAPULCO
This is so easy, so delicious, and did I mention easy? Mom and I had been toying with the enchilada recipes I've found here on Zaar that sparked our interest. I had been browsing the back of can labels (always on the lookout for recipes to try) and the "Acapulco" jumped out at me. I came home, made some adjustments to my old recipe, and this is what it turned out to be...a culinary vacation to Acapulco.
