Back to School Easy Dinner Recipe ~ Vegetarian Skillet Enchiladas

Well I am off to do a cooking demo at Williams Sonoma for back to school! I am so excited about this demo, because it helps me to reminsice about when my sons were in elementary school and I prepared their lunches and scrambling around trying to figure out what we would have for dinner after a long and busy day. Fast forward my sons are both grown up and I have two beautiful grandkids, but I still get in the kitchen and make lunches and easy recipes for when they are over. Here’s one of my favorites. I hope you and your family will enjoy!!

Vegan Enchiladas, just use vegan cheese, instead of regular cheese.
You can also
add chicken.
