Three Cheese Enchiladas

I decided to make this recipe for two reasons. ย First, I'm trying to be more frugal. ย I used to be a lot more frugal than I am now, and I just keep thinking that if we make a few little changes we could cut our spending and be much better off. ย So I'm trying to add in some super yummy meatless meals that we'll love and will also help us save some money. ย And who doesn't love some Mexican food?!

And second, cheese. ย Yes, that's it. ย Just cheese. ย Because yum. ย And why didn't I think of it earlier when my life's passion is cheese?

Anyway, if you love cheese, you'll love these Three Cheese Enchiladas, filled with three kinds of cheese (obviously! Ha!) as well as some classic Mexican flavors like cilantro and green chiles, topped with enchilada sauce (and more cheese), and baked in the oven.

Now feel free to get creative with your cheeses. The recipe calls for cheddar, Monterey, and mozzarella, but so many others would work as well. ย Chihuahua cheese, queso fresco, white American, Fontina, Colby,... Pick your favorites!

Cheese lovers unite! You're welcome!

    These were very good. I just wanted to share that for whatever reason, even though I followed the recipe exactly, I ended up with double the amount of filling it says it makes. I filled 11 tortillas with 1/4 cup of the mixture each and still had about 1/2 of the filling mixture left. We ended up using it to make more and even used it as chip dip so it didn't go to waste.
