I made Chicken Enchiladas the other night, It's one of my repertoire recipes that I make to impress guests. But I just had a hankering so I made them to impress the husband. He's not impressed by much. He's like Elvis; cool as a cucumber. But this recipe makes even him swoon!
I served these beauties with blistered Poblano Peppers (we grew them ourselves) and a hardy stout that our friend Brad made called, Mr. Hanky's Russian Imperial."
The Enchiladas are creamy, savory treats that are especially satisfying on a cold winter's night. Paired with this chocolaty, boozy stout (boozy is good by the way - otherwise you'd drink a Bud - I want my stout to be an artisan type of hooch - that means it must include a real spirit vibe!) and the peppers, you are eating like royalty. Hungry?
