Weeknight dinners can be frustrating.
And we say this as if we cook for seven kids, a husband, and two dogs. But that’s far from the truth. Dinner on the weeknights are 86% just Mr. B and I. We sit on the couch, catch up on The Big Bang Theory, Homeland, Sons of Anarchy, and nibble away at whatever we managed to cook up that evening. There’s nothing magical to this equation.
Still, every time Sunday rolls around (and we get a case of the Sunday evenings), we want to pull our hair out at the thought of meal planning. You’d think with the amount of hyperventilating we do, we were planning on feeding the Queen of England. But we don’t think it’s so much about who we're feeding, it’s what we're eating. Because no one wants to end their day with a bowl of stale Cheerios. Am we right?
Which is why when we are in a mega weeknight dinner decison-making rut, we go for a staple: enchiladas. Believe it or not, enchiladas are a new dinner rotation in the Grier household. GASP! We have been trying new versions every week and recently we added harissa to the sauce!! Get excited.
You’ve heard of harissa, right? If not, you’ve got to meet our homegirl, Mina Harissa. She makes ready-to-go jarred harissa in three different flavors: green, mild & spicy red. Shoot. Where are our manners? Harissa is a North African spice made up of red chili pepper, garlic, red bell pepper, olive oil, and vinegar. Delish!
Anyways, we added harissa to the enchilada sauce, tossed the sauce with the Morrocan spiced chicken, stuffed the tortillas, covered the tops with gobs of cheese, and baked until the all flavors combined. It’s a weeknight dinner fit for royalty sans the Queen of course.
