Veggie Enchiladas

lunch member blog recipes Feb 04, 2025
  • Enchiladas are great for lunch or dinner.
  • I often make a double batch of this at lunchtime so that I could eat it for dinner as well.
  • Having the same lunch and dinner is ideal when you’re very busy and still want something healthy and tasty. Don’t overcomplicate life!
