I’m an avocado freak! Yes, Southern Cal all the way! But this is the perfect enchilada. Creamy, yet a bit chunky, seasoned just right and oh, so cheesy. How can you go wrong? You can’t!
Avocado Filling:
Ingredients:
¼ Spanish onion, diced
3 garlic cloves, minced
½ package taco seasoning
1 nice handful cilantro, finely chopped
1 can Rotel (tomatoes and green pepper blend), drained
4 avocados
Juice of ½ lime
8 ounces Mexican blend cheese, shredded and divided
Salt and pepper to taste
14 white or yellow corn tortillas
Directions:
In a skillet on medium heat, add butter and onion and garlic. Cook until fragrant and tender. Add, taco seasoning, cilantro and Rotel, into skillet and stir to combine. Cook about 3 minutes and empty skillet contents into bowl. Take 4 ripe avocados; ripe, but firm and slightly giving to the touch. Cut the avocados in half, remove seed and scoop the avocado meat out into bowl. Add the juice of ½ lime and ½ the cheese. Roughly smash all ingredients leaving it a bit on the chunky side. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Assemble Enchiladas:
Wrap 14 white or corn tortillas in paper towels and microwave for 1 minute or until soft and pliable to roll. Fill and roll each tortillas with about 2 tablespoons of avocado filling, Lining a 9 X 13 baking dish with the rolled tortillas as you go. Pour cilantro lime sauce over the rolled tortillas and sprinkle with cheese. Cover with foil and cook for about 25 to 30 minutes or until bubbly. Remove foil and bake for another 5 minutes, until slightly browned. Remove and serve hot.
