Cheeseburger Enchiladas

Tell me. How many hamburger buns have to perish – stuffed in a corner of somebody’s cold fridge or freezer? What of the tortillas!? When they have no purpose but to dry out in a corner somewhere; when there’s no filling left to hold or contain. The remaining buns and tortillas don’t stand a chance when the tides of dinnertime change. At least that’s how it is in my house. There’s only two people in my household and, more often than not, we end up with too many hamburger buns or tortillas. Or! I’ll buy new buns because I forgot we already had some at home.  It’s wasteful and it’s an issue I try to prevent when meal planning or the week.

Enter these Cheeseburger Enchiladas. We ate them with forks! We ate them fast! WE LEFT NO TORTILLAS BEHIND! This meal is the best of both worlds – one part enchilada, one part cheeseburger, and one whole plate full of yum!
