Enchilada Casserole
In my family, we love Mexican foods, all different kinds! There are some nights that I’m just not really excited about dinner, but when I know we are having Mexican for dinner…I can’t wait!
A few weeks back, I spotted this Enchilada Casserole on Cooking Light and knew I had to try this. I did have to make a few changes due to being gluten free.
I decided to use White Corn Tortillas instead of flour tortillas, which also means that I used a lot more than what the original calls for.
I altered a few other items which cut down on cook time, but the end result was just as tasty. This is one of those meals the entire family will love!
This dish is sort of like a wonderful base and then you can make many additions once it’s baked. This can be topped with lettuce, tomatoes, guacamole, or any of your favorites.
I like to add a little homemade salsa to ours too. This is one of those meals that you need on your menu a few times a month.
It’s just one of those I can guarantee my entire family will eat!
I topped ours with a little sour cream and cilantro, then I paired it with a side of corn to complete the meal. What other sides would you pair with this? I would love to hear them.
I’m also looking for even more ways to make this a little better-for-you too although it’s pretty good if you keep in line the cheese and toppings.
