Disclosure: This is part of a supported campaign with Chef Merito. However, all opinions expressed are my own.
Over the years I’ve inherited many recipes from my mom and tias. My all time favorite recipe, next to my moms tamales are my tias enchiladas. As a child I would watch my aunt make her spicy red enchiladas and vowed to make them just like her some day. I was so enamored with her recipe I asked her to make her special enchiladas for our engagement dinner. It ended up being a huge event with a cooking lesson and her enchiladas served as our reward. My auntie makes her recipe real spicy with hot red chiles. As I got older, I learned the recipe and modified it with a mild red chili sauce instead of a spicy sauce. I also experimented with green chiles and white sauce enchiladas.
I recently discovered Chef Merito seasons. Chef Merito is the official season of the Los Angeles Dodgers and has created spices to season chicken, carne asada or grilled chicken. One thing I also love about the products is that it makes cooking easy. Each Chef Merito recipe such as its carne asada seasoning, adobo marinade and achiote paste was personally created in the kitchen of Plinio Garcia Sr. The company is now run by a two generations of the Garcia family members. They also have authentic mexican marinades in a bottle to save a lot of time with the preparation. My favorite seasoning is the Chicken seasoning because it makes poultry taste good and adds a great flavor to seasoned grilled chicken. It also helped me prepared this easy Enchilada recipe in less than 30 minutes!
Can’t wait to try Chef Meritos seasoning to all my other favorite mexican recipes. The possibilities are endless.

Your chicken enchiladas look amazing! 🙂
Love enchiladas
I can’t wait to try this recipe. I failed at my first attempt so will try this recipe instead.
Funny coincidence, I had enchiladas for dinner last night. However, there is a big difference between some restaurants and home made.
I’m a big fan of fish I see Chef Merito has a great selection. I plan to try the Ceviche recipe.
