The girl between the lines- Week 3

This week's prompt:

Your go-to meal


Justin and my sister (accidentally) collaborated on my wedding gift.  I say accidentally, because they realized they had both thought of the same idea when it was too late, so they combined their idea into one.  They both asked about 10 ladies and some of my friends to share some of their favorite recipes, which got written onto cute notecards and categorized into a box.  The box was Justin's idea.  Just to brag, it came plain and he painted it red and added the designs. I was so impressed!  My sister got me an adorable apron from Anthropologie and was planning on putting the cards in the pockets, but like I said, they combined ideas, so all the recipes went in the box and I got the apron anyway :)


My go-to recipe is one from this box.  Obviously, otherwise I wouldn't have wasted your time telling you about said box.  It's SUPER simple and only requires 4 ingredients.  I've discovered that guys, or at least mine, like simple dishes.  Almost every time I plan my weekly menu and ask for his input, he suggests spaghetti or hotdogs. This is almost as easy. 
 
 

Enchilada Skillet

Ingredients:

1 lb ground beef
1 pkg (8-10) corn tortillas, cut into about 1" squares
2 cups enchilada sauce
2 cups shredded cheese (you can use any kind, but Mexican blend is best)

Directions:

Brown beef in a large skillet and drain fat.
Put beef back in skillet and add enchilada sauce and tortillas.
Bring to a boil, add cheese, cover and simmer for 10 minutes.
Done!

We like to eat this with chips and guacamole. 


This is seriously one of the easiest dinners I've ever made!  I promise you'll love it!
