You won’t believe how easy this delicious enchilada casserole recipe is. It’s a great meal for a crowd. Leftovers freeze well and taste even better the second time around.
Mexican food is my favorite of all . Even though I am Italian and love Italian food, I still have an affinity for Mexican cuisine. Dining on Mexican food, to me, is like going on a vacation, you can’t wait to get there and you are sorry when it’s over.
One night I was in a hurry. I had all the ingredients for enchiladas but I was pressed for time. I really didn’t want to cut everything up in separate dishes and dirty a big baking dish so I cooked the meat in a cast iron frying pan. Added all the ingredients, didn’t really layer anything. Tore up some corn tortillas, poured enchilada sauce over the top and stuck it in the over for 25 minutes. It was delicious.
Enchiladas are great but are somewhat time consuming to make. This recipe is a great substitute for rolled meat enchiladas.
