Throwback Thursday: Enchiladas Cancun {Easy Cheesy Seafood Fiesta!}

Happy Thursday, friends!  Here's a throwback to a recipe, plus a sweet little story from 1998 when my husband first made this creation of his for me! 
Enchiladas Cancun {Easy Cheesy Seafood Fiesta!} Originally published here on February 26, 2013



In the summer of 1998, my husband (then handsome boyfriend), created this scrumptious recipe and asked to cook for me. We were young and in love, which explains why I was shockingly willing to try this dish, although I normally wouldn't have eaten seafood if someone paid me. To my surprise, it was love at first bite! That's when I knew I must marry this culinary genius. Ok, maybe it also had something to do with how I fit perfectly in his arms, his love for the Lord, and clear adoration of lit'l ol' me, but these mouthwatering enchiladas showed me that this boy could make staying at home feel like a delicious vacation on a plate!
