Enchilada Casserole

🌮 Enchilada Casserole 🎉 This is like a mexican lasagna and is a filling, easy to put together casserole that is incredibly affordable too! Serve it with some nice crisp lettuce, salsa or pico, sour cream, or avocado/guacamole. Adding a side of rice and beans would be an amazing complete meal! 

What’s awesome about this recipe is you can switch out the beef for some shredded rotisserie chicken and the red enchilada sauce for green and you’ve got yourself a fabulous chicken verde version that is just as good! ❤️ Enjoy!
