Life as an Enchilada

I sit here starring at the clock, knowing that I need to make a decision on dinner. I have chicken and hamburger in the fridge; what else do I have? Cheese, tomatoes, onions, three day old left-overs, fresh cilantro... hmmm how about enchiladas? I have half an advocado, all the spices, and tortillas -

Houston we are a go!
