Cover with enchilada sauce and cheese. Add beans and rice to plate. Cover beans with cheese. Set in oven or toaster oven to let cheese melt.

      I haven't received a pay check since last August, so I am still researching everything under the sun. Someone pointed out that sprouts and microgreens can be grown for pennies a serving and they have more nutrition than the adult greens. Someone did a Dollar Store version of growing them. I thought of you. Maybe you can find ways to add them in. ua-cam.com/video/kXgBED2jECY/v-deo.html&ab_channel=PadmaAleti

    Hi Michelle, another great video, thank you! I can't wait to try some of these recipes. I make your Huevos Rancheros at least 3-4 times a week, I love them!!! I've made a few other of your recipes too. Over the weekend I made your Chicken Cordon Bleu and lemon spaghetti. We LOVED the chicken! You make my meal planning so much easier for me, I'd always get stuck in a rut on meal planning and shopping for ingredients. You are a true blessing to me.

    Have you ever considered making a sort of Asian fusion taco? We did and it was soon good. We did a pot roast sort of beef cut but we did it in the crockpot with soy sauce, hoisin, Sriracha and brown sugar. We used street taco tortillas, put the meat in and topped them with purple/green cabbage, carrots shreds, cilantro, green onion and a bit of a garlic aioli, and lime juice squeezed on top. Soooo good. You should try something like that, it seems right up your alley!

      Well actually one of my favorite dishes at Cheesecake Factory used to be this Asian fusion lettuce taco with grilled chicken. You could order some Mexican style and some Asian. I think they only offer the Asian now though. Your recipe sounds great. I'll save this comment in my file. I love using the crockpot to make taco meat. Thanks for sharing this.
