Enchilada Date Night

Lacey Bagley - Guthrie, OK

We planned a Mexican dinner/ date night last week for some friends. I made enchiladas, guacamole, and cake balls - because they are nĂºmero uno on the list of favorite Mexican foods!

Evan and I already showed off our mad guacamole skills, but you guys need to know the results of the competition: which is better - corn tortillas with beef (right) or flour tortillas with my mom's traditional creamy chicken recipe (left)?




The recipe for the corn tortilla filling is simple: beef, taco seasoning, salsa, and red enchilada sauce. My mom's flour tortilla filling is, well... a picture is easiest:




Pretty different, but give my Minnesotan, Norwegian mom a break - eh? Let's just say this, if I were on death row, this would be my last meal. It's that good.

So I'm out of the judging. The other four people voted:

Corn/ beef: 2
Flour/ chicken: 2

Well, that's not okay! So I had to use my vote to break the tie... so mom's recipe wins!

I guess I can say that this week: my mom really WAS in the kitchen!

Happy eating!
