Pro-Tips

Great Snack hack for kids! Mini Enchiladas are a great snack dish for children or when you are on the go. Accompany your mini with a portion of veggies and it becomes a meal.

The ramekins add a little extra confidence to any weight management plan because of it diminutive size. What do I mean? Ramekins can help control portion size. Small children can also benefit from the size, because as we know children can be picky eaters.

I found 6 OZ Ramekin Bowls 8 PCS, at Amazon. These ramekins are oven safe, sleek, and porcelain white. They are great to use for puddings, Creme Brulee, Custard cups and Souffles. You may purchase 6 OZ Ramekin Bowls 8 PCS at a reasonable cost at Amazon.

The flavor was of Cheddar cheese. Consider mixing the Cheddar cheese with Colby Jack and Pepper Jack cheese to improve this dish. Cooking is really about using ingredients that taste good to you and are healthy at the same time. Do what you love.
