In addition to all of the asparagus recipes this week I was also trying some texmex meals. This was my first attempt at enchiladas. It turned out pretty good even though I was a bit short on the green sauce. I look forward to experimenting with different varieties of enchiladas in the future. I could not find any tomatillos so I had to use canned green sauce.

I made this last night for dinner, complete with Tex Mex Chicken. I made the Cilantro and Lime Rice as a side dish and it was a perfect pair. I also made my corn pudding for something a little sweet. Needless to say, dinner was fabulous.
Your recipe was so easy to make and produced some great flavors and a rave review from my boyfriend. Thank you for sharing your recipes and great food pictures. I can't wait to make another dish from your blog!!!
Hey Kevin your food shots are looking good. You should do a workshop for TSG sometime! I made this recipe tonight and it turned out great. Very fresh flavours.
I added some cumin to the salsa. I found the lime juice a bit strong so next time I'd probably juice just half a lime. Thanks for the recipe!
Ted: Another food TSG event would be fun! We should do it at a place with a kitchen though so that the food can look fresh.
