These enchiladas have been on my mind for quite some time. Almost a whole month to be exact. We went out to dinner one night after church to a chain Mexican restaurant. (GO FIGURE)  It had been years since I had eaten their and decided to take some recommendations on food options from our family members. My sister in law highly recommended the pepper jack chicken grilled enchiladas. Of course I took her opinion very seriously and ordered that dish.

It is now a month later and I decided to make my own version of this dish at home. I’ve done so many chicken dishes lately that I decided to use beef fajita steak instead and I changed a little bit of the toppings and cheese. I can now have this dish in the comfort of my own home for a cheaper price.

Now the only thing that would have made this better was homemade flour tortillas that are big enough to fit all the fillings. I had to buy store bought which is a big no-no for me. Ever since I was little I’ve been super picky about my tortillas and I typically will ONLY eat homemade ones. I let my pride go this time. They were still good despite the tortilla flaw.

Please tell me that I am not the only one that doesn’t like store bought tortillas……… PLEASE

Also, you may have seen recently on social media, but I am looking for contributors here on A Zesty Bite. I’m looking for posts on beauty, travel, book reviews, DIY or kid related posts please feel free to email me if you are interested.
