Traditionally an Asian dish, potstickers are a type of dumpling that contains a variety of different fillings. Most people order these little suckers straight off a take-out menu, but little do they know, they’re insanely simple to make right in your own kitchen. This enchilada version plays with a lot of different flavors to create a fiesta in your mouth. Don’t forget to add a dollop of sour cream or a splash of your fave hot sauce before popping these bad boys in your mouth. Welcome to Flavortown.
