Whether I have 10 minutes to get something on the table or an hour, I always like keeping things easy. And this week of easy 5-ingredient dinners is as simple as it gets.

In this recipe, all you do is combine chicken (I like buying a rotisserie bird to keep things simple), cheese, refried beans and enchilada sauce together in a bowl and then tuck the mixture into cabbage leaves—yum! These flavorful, ready-to-use ingredients really help to add deliciousness to these dinners while keeping the ingredient count low.You’ll see plenty of other shortcut ingredients in this week’s dinners, like the quick-cooking gnocchi (I always keep a bag in my freezer) in Monday’sCauliflower Gnocchi Capreseand boxed butternut squash soup (a pantry staple in my house) in Wednesday’sCurried Butternut Squash Soup with Crispy Halloumi.
