Looking for a hearty, healthy meal the whole family will enjoy? The 3 Sisters Enchiladas, adapted from the Chef Ann Foundation's school food service recipe, celebrate the traditional trio of squash, beans and corn, known as the "Three Sisters." For generations, these crops have been grown together by Indigenous communities because they complement one another both in the garden and on the plate.
