CREAMY JALAPENO ENCHILADAS
Creamy, spicy and easy. I got the idea for this recipe from a mexican dish we had in Cabo. You can play with the chili's and jalepenos in here to make it more or less spicy. A full can of jalepenos gives it a really good kick! This dish is best the day it's made but luckily I rarely have any left overs!
