After a great vacation in Italy and tasting all kinds of pastas and pizzas it is good to be back to prepare your own meal. Of course it has to be a little bit different then what we got for last couple of days. So we decided to make a Mexican dish.
Enchiladas is an easy dish to prepare, but if you are making homemade tortillas it could take some longer time. I love homemade tortillas, they taste amazing. I one of the next posts I will give you some tricks how prepare great to tortillas at home.
