Del Monte Southwestern Chicken Enchiladas Recipe + Football Sweepstakes & Giveaway

I have a confession to make… I primarily only watch football when it’s a Super Bowl game. Yep, once a year I watch football. I do catch bits and pieces of an occasional UT Vols game, but to really watch a game, it is the super bowl. We make an event of it. Even a friendly wager is made between me and my husband.

If you know me (and/or my hubby), you know I’m competitive. So we have to make a bet on who will win. All’s fair in love and… bets.

To be completely honest I think the real reason, besides the Superbowl commercials, we like the Super Bowl is for the food. We like making a big deal out of the food and snacks for the big game. I’ve decided to make chicken enchiladas this year. And as usual I did a trial run, yesterday…
