Tonight, I decided to go back to my friend, Kita's, enchilada recommendation. Her sister sent her this recipe and I have adapted a few things to my taste and what I had available.
For tonight's version, I replaced the beef I originally used with both chicken and shrimp (since I realized a little late in the game that I was running low on shrimp, I just sauteed a chicken breast that I had seasoned with salt and pepper.) I didn't use them together but instead made two different kinds of enchiladas. I also used two kinds of red salsa instead of green salsa because the Publix I went to only had some lame El Paso Salsa Verde available. I used the mango and peach salsa I bought a Costco a while ago as well as Publix brand of medium salsa which was actually quite nice.
The mango/peach salsa was pretty tasty with the shrimp enchiladas in particular. The only thing I didn't like was that it didn't taste particularly Mexican. But, whatever, it was a little gourmet and Damien seemed to like it, too.
I also mixed up the veggies a bit. I did use the squash and corn like the recipe calls for, but I also threw in a poblano pepper and a half of a jalapeno to make things a little spicier.
All in all, it was pretty good. My apologies to Kita and her sister, Mollie for screwing with an already terrific recipe. You're original is still the best.
