Matt Wendel’s Stacked Cheese Enchiladas

It’s Tex-Mex Thursday on America’s Table, with a kid-pleasing breakfast recipe from our favorite Texas chef, Matt Wendel. Cheese enchiladas with a yummy fried egg oozing deliciously all over the melty goodness and seasoned with salsa and guac – what could be better? This definitely falls into the ‘breakfast for dinner’ category also, and is a very fast and filling meal.

Matt writes:

These stacked enchiladas make a very quick and simple dinner that I would sometimes serve the President and Mrs. Bush at the Crawford, Texas ranch. I learned to make these from Mrs. Bush. I think it was one of her favorite dishes while growing up in Midland, Texas.
