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!

Creamy Mississippi Chicken Enchiladas
These creamy Mississippi chicken enchiladas take creamy, cheesy slow cooker Mississippi chicken, flavored with pepperoncini and ranch dressing, to a new level. Shredding the chicken and making baked enchiladas is the obvious next step.
Air Fryer Churros
Air fryer churros are a delicious cinnamon sugar treat. By using an air fryer instead of a deep fryer, it turns what's normally a guilty treat into a sweet treat. After over seven experiments creating this recipe, I have two pieces of advice: do NOT line the air fryer basket with parchment paper liner, and do NOT add the cinnamon sugar to the dough.
