Let's recreate some summer goodness. I can't ever get enough of Mexican-inspired cuisine and this is no exception. While the weather has been slightly warmer in the past few days, it has still been much cooler than my preferred 60-70 degrees F. Let's warm ourselves up.
I actually made these cups as appetizers for my housewarming party earlier this year. However, in all the brouhaha, I never got shots of the final items. In fact, I remember it being mid-party and wondering why my apartment was so warm (this place is always freezing!) and realizing my oven was preheating for these little things...which were chilling out in the kitchen and definitely not in the oven.
I can't even take these...in a good way. They're tiny, which means that they're automatically cuter than cute. Also, I'm certain I'm ingesting fewer calories than if I were to eat a huge wonton filled with this enchilada mix. Obviously.
