Sargento Thin To Win Giveaway! Win 3 Coupons!

 A couple of weeks ago, I was challenged by Sargento to devote an evening to relaxation. It's part of their Thin To Win campaign to encourage everyone to thin out their lifestyles and relax a little! I enjoyed my challenge so much, I decided to take an evening off each week. I've been sending the kids to bed early (with a movie) once a week, making a pot of herbal tea, and reading a few books. I even went on a stress free vacation last week! The kids went with us, but my husband made sure to give me a few hours to myself and I really appreciated it! I've learned a lot since taking the challenge. My life has been a lot easier since I've taken the time to unwind and let go of some of the stress. I am a much happier person! Because I am happier, I am more productive in life. I am becoming more organized and that is going to make my life easier too!
I received coupons to buy Sargento Cheese. I bought an assortment of their Ultra Thin Sliced Cheeses. We eat cheese daily and we always have a few packages in the refrigerator. I enjoyed the Ultra Thin Sliced Cheese because it was easier for me to take out a slice for snacks and it was easy to cook with! I decided to make Artisan Enchiladas one night. I could thin out the recipe with my Ultra Thin Cheese. I used it, but (shamefully) I used a lot! When I make enchiladas, I look forward to that layer of browned cheese on top. I can't help it. I have thinned out my sandwiches (I promise) and other recipes, but not my enchiladas! When I do use the Ultra Thin Sliced Cheese, my kids can't tell that I used the thinner sliced cheese! The flavor is so good, they don't realize the difference!

Artisan Enchiladas


Prep Time: 20 minutes


Cook Time: 30 minutes

INGREDIENTS

3/4 lb. ground pork or beef  (I used 1 pound and made 12 enchiladas)

1/2 cup chopped onion

2 cloves garlic, minced

2 cans (10 oz. each) enchilada sauce, divided

2 cups (8 oz.) Sargento® Artisan Blends® Shredded Authentic Mexican Cheese, divided (I used Ultra Thin Sliced Cheese, and I covered each tortilla)

1/2 cup chopped cilantro, divided

8 (6 to 7-inch) flour tortillas (I used 12 whole wheat tortillas)



DIRECTIONS

1-Cook meat with onion and garlic in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat until no longer pink, about 5 minutes; drain. Stir in 1/2 cup enchilada sauce; simmer 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat.

2-Spoon 1/2 cup enchilada sauce in bottom of a 13 x 9-inch baking dish. Stir 1 cup cheese and 1/4 cup cilantro into meat mixture. Spoon about 1/3 cup mixture down center of each tortilla. Roll up; place seam-sides down in dish. Spoon remaining enchilada sauce over tortillas, spreading to cover. Cover dish with foil.
