"We share a love of for both red and green chilies in my family, so we enjoy this recipe Christmas-style by making half the pan with red sauce on top and the other half with green sauce. It's a great make-ahead breakfast. I loke to make and bake these enchiladas, and then my kids can serve themselves and reheat portions through the week." - Mary Younkin, The Weekday Lunches & Breakfasts CookbookNOTE: Step-by-step photos in blog post above!
