The good folks at Stargazer sent us their 12-inch skillet and what we learned is that their skillets are smooth to the touch, naturally non-stick, and easy to clean. It was the perfect cooking vessel for our Chicken and Black Bean Enchilada Skillet recipe.
Want to know more about this recipe? The enchilada skillet brings all the taste of red chile enchiladas – the red sauce brings the dish together with the right amount of heat from the New Mexico dried chiles. You can find our recipe for Red Chile Sauce by clicking on this link here. The tender bites of chicken and black beans add extra flavor and protein but you know we all love our enchiladas to be cheesy. Don’t hold out. Add lots and lots of cheese to your dish.
