Leftover Chicken? Turkey? Meat of any kind? Try these Enchilada Nachos. Cheesy, crunchy, and packed with flavor. Get your own.
Every now and then I open the fridge to find a pile of leftovers staring me down and a lack of creativity sparking any amazing ideas. And then I remember, it’s the good recipes with messy melty cheesy and hot sauce that really really make a good night. Those nights when plates and forks be damned, just put a trivet on the communal table and dig in. No double dipping in the salsa though.
No one likes a double dipper.
