Guests will have fun filling their plates with a tasty variety of sweet and savory treats. 01 of 11 Easy Enchilada Cups Gimme Some Oven Instead of serving messy, full-size enchiladas, offer guests a hand-held version that's just as satisfying. Flour tortillas are packed into a muffin tin, filled with chicken, corn, black beans, and enchilada sauce, then topped with a generous amount of shredded cheese. Prefer a vegetarian version? Simply swap out chicken for extra veggies or tofu. Recipe and photo from Gimme Some Oven.
