I tried. I tried like three different times. We have had more enchiladas than a human should have to eat. That’s a lie. Enchiladas are delicious and there should be an endless supply. But we have eaten a lot of enchiladas over here.
Yet I just can’t get a good picture of enchiladas made in the slow cooker. No matter what, it sort of looks like vomit.

Katie tidbit #32: I used to thoroughly dislike peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. Crazy, right? Like, what child DOESN’T like peanut butter and jelly?

Another fair warning: It is hard to take appetizing pictures of this dish. Some food is just like that. No matter how you do it, it’s going to look a little gross. I mean, if I was a professional I’m sure I could use all sorts of fancy tricks to make it look delicious. Inedible. But delicious.
