Is it just me, or do you get way less work done on your day off?
I had my first day off today in.. I can’t even say how long, and all I was doing was browsing ebay and amazon, making impulse buys. And half of them weren’t even Christmas presents!
I had all of these grand plans for what to do with the day. Maybe go to the gym. Get my hair cut. Work on some lesson plans and create tests for next week. But suddenly, it was dinner time and I was hungry and was wondering where the time has gone.
Turns out, even on my days off, I want a quick and easy meal to make for dinner. And I am sick to death of pasta every night.
Enchiladas might just be my new go-to easy weeknight meal! Just stuff a tortilla with whatever you have on hand, top it with cheese and sauce (or in my case, salsa), and boom! Instant dinner!
If you don’t like things too spicy, maybe use a mild salsa, or opt out of the jalapenos. But since me and my boyfriend adore spicy food, we put salsa and jalapenos on everything. Biscuits, pretzels, quinoa and my personal favorite, pizza! Putting it in enchiladas is only natural!
And now I have something to bring for lunch tomorrow. Score!
Tuna Jalapeno Enchiladas
Ingredients
- 2 cans tuna, drained
- 2 cups mozzarella cheese, divided
- 1 cup prepared salsa, divided
- 1 medium jalapeno, diced
- 4 large soft corn tortillas
Instructions
- In a skillet, mix together the tuna, 1 cup mozzarella, and 2/3 cups salsa and the jalapeno. Heat on high for 3-5 minutes.
- Spoon the tuna mixture into the tortillas, roll them up and place side by side in an 8×8 baking sheet.
- Top with the remaining salsa and cheese. Place under a broiler for around 2 minutes, or until the cheese is melted.
I think it is true—we are less efficient on our free day when we have a lot of time. It's like going through the drive through—we wait the longest when the restaurant is empty. I like my canned tuna. These quick and easy enchiladas are a perfect fuss-frees meal!
Really tempting recipe
Tuna and cheese…how could you resist such a delicious combination? They look mouthwatering.
Easy and delicious! I like tuna. Yummy!
I totally understand – I tend to do much less on my days off too! I need me some of these enchiladas the next time I take off – they sound delicious!
I love spicy food too! The melted cheese on top looks fantastic.
I don't think I realized enchiladas could be so easy! Great, quick meal idea, which is so very handy right now.
We always get fresh canned tuna for Christmas presents, I'll have try this recipe out!
That is really different … and I've got a can of tuna in the fridge and very little time to make dinner tonight.
