Vegetable-Packed Guacamole
Very Good 4.5/5

Gazpacho is one of my favorite summer meals, and it's no coincidence that it's also one of the easiest to make. It's simply a chilled, usually blended vegetable soup of Spanish origin.

I took three enchiladas recipes; veggie, cheese and chicken and combined them. Creating the perfect enchiladas dish. It makes two freeze and service dishes, that each serve 6. ENCHILADA!

This guilt-free version is quick and easy and satisfies even the most discerning cheese lovers in our family. They look really cheesy, with 1/2 cup of cheese on top, but looks can be deceiving. The filling is tasty and lower-fat, and the tortillas are layered, for faster creation.

Slow cook on the stove stop. Uses all fresh ingredients. Adding this mostly due to it being a family favorite and not many others call for making homemade verde sauce. I also adjust the heat by leaving the seeds and ribs of one half of one jalapeno. Can also add 2 anaheim or poblano chiles for more heat.
