Easy Enchilada Casserole

I love making Enchilada Casseroles and so does my family. Plus Cinco de Mayo is just around the corner! Not only are they easy and delicious but feed us for a few days as leftovers and even make a great lunch. Try making our Homemade Enchilada Sauce to save a few bucks plus it is better than store-bought too. 

I have already made on the site, Leftover Turkey, Sausage Enchilada Casserole, Chicken and Chorizo Enchilada, and Enchilada Casserole. Easy Enchilada Casserole I changed up a bit from Enchilada Casserole. I really liked the toppings of lettuce, tomato, and black olives, it is like having your salad right there with your meal.

I changed up the recipe a bit with different kinds of enchilada sauce. I think if I went with all mild green sauce it wouldn’t have enough umph for me, but all medium red sauce would be too spicy for our daughter. A nice comprimise was to use both, just the right heat and flavor.

Love a great cheesy topping, all melty, gooey and just the right amount of browning. Then topped with lettuce, tomato and black olives.

I know you want to dive right in!! I like to use flour tortillas, they do get a bit softer but I like the flavor compared to corn. You can most certainly use corn tortillas and a lot of them are gluten free which helps if you are eliminating that from your diet.
