I found this recipe on the Sister's cafe. I like that it comes together quickly and also makes enough to freeze the extra pan. Todd loved this recipe!
1.5 lbs pork or chicken, cooked and shredded
Sauce:
1/3 c honey
1/4 c lime juice
1 Tb chili powder
1/2 tsp garlic powder
2 (10 oz) cans green enchilada sauce
equal parts mixed together of:
mozzarella cheese, shredded
cheddar cheese, shredded
flour tortillas
Mix together sauce ingredients then add to shredded pork or chicken. Let the sauce soak into the meat for about 30 minutes.
Lightly spray 2 pans with non-stick baking spray. Pour 1 can of green enchilada sauce into each pan to coat the entire bottom. Fill tortillas with shredded meat and desired amount of cheese. Roll and place in dish.
Pour remainder of sauce over enchiladas and sprinkle more cheese on top - don't be stingy! Bake uncovered at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. Then turn on broiler and place enchiladas nearer the top of oven. Let it broil until cheese is slightly brown and crispy. Top with salsa and sour cream!

Chicken Chimichangas
These have such good flavor but are not spicy so James can eat them. I'll be honest, they aren't as good as the deep fried version, but they are much healthier.
Chicken Chimichangas
Ingredients
2 1/2 cups shredded roasted skinless, boneless chicken breasts
1 cup (4 ounces) crumbled queso fresco cheese
1/4 cup chopped green onions
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1 garlic clove, minced
1 (4.5-ounce) can chopped green chiles, drained
1 (16-ounce) can fat-free refried beans
6 (8-inch) whole wheat tortillas
Cooking spray
1/2 cup bottled salsa
Preheat oven to 500°.
Combine first 7 ingredients in a large bowl; toss well.
Spread 1/4 cup beans down center of each tortilla. Top each tortilla with 2/3 cup chicken mixture; roll up. Place rolls, seam sides down, on a large baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Coat tops of chimichangas with cooking spray. Bake at 500° for 7 minutes. Serve with salsa.

Huevos Rancheros
I've been meaning to make these for a long time, but never did until tonight. We had some amazing Huevos Rancheros 6 years ago in Durango, CO at a quant diner on main street. We were visiting Durango for the wedding of our friends Chris and Maleah Stroud. It was a quick, easy dinner and did not disappoint! I've had some queso fresco cheese in the freezer for quite a while and was looking for a good recipe to use it for. I have a chicken chimichunga recipe that I'll post later this week that calls for that cheese too.
Huevos Rancheros
Yield
4 servings (serving size: 1 topped tortilla)
Ingredients
1 (10-ounce) can diced tomatoes and green chiles, undrained
1 (10-ounce) can red enchilada sauce
1/3 cup chopped fresh cilantro
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
2 tablespoons water
1 can pinto beans, rinsed and drained
Cooking spray
4 large eggs (a big eater,aka Todd, would want 2 eggs)
4 whole wheat tortillas
1 cup (4 ounces) crumbled queso fresco cheese or any other cheese will work fine too
Avocado, sliced (optional)
Combine the tomatoes and enchilada sauce in a medium saucepan; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer 5 minutes or until slightly thick. Remove from heat; stir in cilantro and juice. Set aside.
Place water and beans in a microwave-safe bowl, and partially mash with a fork. Cover and microwave at HIGH 2 minutes or until hot.
Heat a large nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray over medium-high heat. Add eggs; cook 1 minute on each side or until desired degree of doneness.
Warm tortillas according to package directions. Spread about 1/3 cup beans over each tortilla; top each tortilla with 1 egg. Spoon 1/2 cup sauce around each egg; sprinkle each serving with 1/4 cup cheese. If made with 1 egg and no avocado these are about 350 calories each.
