This simple Enchilada Stuffed Shell Appetizer makes a perfect bite-size addition to any party menu.
An easy weeknight meal for us is burritos with ground turkey. We always end up with tons of leftover meat though and I wanted to come up with a way to use the meat again without it being the same meal.
I found that the meat was the perfect mixture for Enchilada Stuffed Shells and since the meat is already made it is so simple. When the mixture is stuffed inside jumbo shells the enchilada shells become the perfect bite-size appetizer and are a perfect Supper Bowl appetizer.
The following recipe is written so that you can make the two separate meals or just make the Enchilada Stuffed Shell Appetizer from the start.

Take a quantum sztis of mayonnaise to ccover each small piece
of your head and hair and apply it. No more than 24 hours unlless you transfer to an airtight container when you might manage a coupple oof days.
This can be a cause for panic in some American women who are not
used to this custom or who may be unskilled in Latin cuisine.

Do u get readymade shells...we don't get that in India....
Jenny Melrose
I do buy ready made. Just boil and done. That'll make these a bit more difficult without the ready made.
