What I love about Enchilada is it’s spice levels. I’m a huge spice lover and enchilada sauce is one of my favorite when it’s a bit spicier, as in Mexican Cottage Cheese Chicken Enchilada Recipe.

The spice in it helps to lift up the amazing flavors to make enchilada delicious. Though you can make enchilada sauce at home very easily, I used the store bought one.  The cheese mixture in this dish is a combination of cottage cheese and sour cream.

Serve Mexican Cottage Cheese Chicken Enchilada Recipe, a cheesy creamy Mexican delight either as a one pot dinner recipe, or along with Poblano Chili Rellenos or Cheese and Bacon Pinwheels and a dessert like Tres Leches for a wholesome weekend dinner with your best of kins.
