These enchiladas are full of fresh vegetables and my ace in the hole - cotija cheese. Sour cream makes a nice saucy filling. My vegetarian husband gives these 5 stars; I hope you like them, too! These go great with a side of black or pinto beans and a salad with chopped tomato and avocado. Enjoy!

Green Onion Garlic Naan Bread
I am going to show you how to make naan Chef John-style—when I want it fast and I don't want to use yeast and wait for a dough to rise but I also want it just as good as if I did. While I originally tried this method to save time, it produces what might be my favorite style of naan. It really is incredible whether you use garlic and green onions, or not. As naan are made, they must be stacked and wrapped in a kitchen towel to keep them soft and supple.
