3-Ingredient Chili-Cheese Enchiladas

Here is a super fun weeknight dinner recipe that only uses 3-ingredients!! Yes, you heard me… these 3-ingredient Chili-Cheese Enchiladas are a total hit with the whole family and perfect for nights that you don’t want to work too hard in the kitchen and need to use what you have on hand. 

Growing up, one of my best friends Mom’s (Mrs. Penny) made a recipe similar to this that we were obsessed with! A simple recipe that required just a few easy ingredients that was perfect for feeding a crowd. Mrs. Penny would whip up a batch of these enchiladas anytime she knew all of our friends were coming over for dinner and we would devour them. 

Originally made with convenient items like store-bought flour tortillas, a block of velveeta cheese, and a can of chili, I’ve recreated a version of Penny’s Chili-Cheese enchiladas in my own kitchen using ingredients that I always have on hand: Siete Foods grain-free almond flour tortillas, organic Monterey jack cheese and, most importantly, Kettle & Fire’s Grass Fed Beef Chili made with Bone Broth. Y’all, this carton of chili is so legit and I love having it in my pantry for these enchiladas, a quick bowl of chili for lunch, or making Frito Chili Pies for the kiddos!
