I'm an east coast girl living in a west coast world. I grew up in New England before moving to SoCal for several years. I then lived in NYC or a year before moving to AZ in 2009. I worked in the entertainment industry for many years of my adult life and have a deep love for photography, writing, and traveling around the U.S. as well as to far-flung locations around the world. Travel is my life and writing about it is a dream!

So, how creative will you get as you build your own enchiladas? Choices for filling include roasted tomatillo chicken, green chile pork, Modelo-braised bison; smashed Jack potato, sautéed spinach and mushroom, sweet and spicy cornbread, and Guajillo short rib.
After you choose your fillings, it's time to decide on a sauce. Your choices are red or green chile or both (aka "Christmas"). You can order it on top or on the side. Next is the cheese. Your choices here are a Chihuahua or Asadero cheese, both, or none.
In addition to the fillings, the sauces, and the cheese, you also have the option to further customize with a variety of salsas, dressings, and add-ons like goat cheese or an egg.
