Instructions

  6. For the avo-lime dressing: use a fork to mash up the avocado. Add the juice and zest of a lime and a little water and mix to your desired consistency – season to taste.
  7. When the enchiladas are ready, drizzle the avocado-lime dressing over it all, garnish as desired and dig in.
