Brunchiladas + Mimosaritas

I love enchiladas. So much so, that I’d like them for breakfast filled with eggs and chorizo. I’m all Dr. Suess about them. Please give them to me topped with salsa verde, out on the town, at the picnic table, for dinner, for breakfast, with leftovers, with newovers, topped with quickly whisked chili powder enchilada sauce, filled with BBQ, topped with gouda, topped with goat cheese. I just want them, ya know? So when I…

Vegetarian Beer Chili

Refried Black Beans

Last night was taco night, and I think it was the best one yet. Not only did we have homemade corn tortillas but we had these amazing refried beans. AND Jake thought of the best cheese combo for on tacos: shredded extra sharp cheddar tossed with crumbled goat cheese. Whoa. Yeah. Best tacos EVER. These are super flavorful, simple to make and multitalented. They can be a side dish, filling for a quesadilla, layered on…
