Dutch Oven Chicken Enchiladas
Every Wednesday night Mr. BigTime and I have been going down to our local beach. We usually make dinner there and enjoy a nice bonfire with some friends. I stumbled across this recipe and we tried it out on our friends. It was fairly inexpensive for all the ingredients, it fed at least 8 people, gave us leftovers for 3 days AND it was delicious. Hope you enjoy!

The final product:
Thanks so much for reading! Have a great Monday!
That looks DELICIOUS! What a great summer cookout recipe!
I will be trying this on my next camping outing! Looks delish.
What makes the sauce red though? :/
The enchilada sauce. We used mild sauce so everyone could have some, but I’m sure the spicy sauce would have been even better.
Sounds good! I’ll give it a try! Thanks.
How much did you use? I didn’t see it in the ingredients list.
Oh no! Will fix that tonight! Thanks for letting me know.
2-10 oz cans of enchilada sauce, or I just used one 28 oz can! Thank you so much for catching that again!!
