Easy
Enchilada Bake
First you will need to figure out what kind of meat will be
in your Enchiladas. Whatever you have on
hand will work and if you have no meat items just make the vegetarian
kind. Either way they will be
fantastic. So, first order of business
is cooking the meat product if it is not already cooked. You can use ground beef, chicken, shredded
beef, or seafood. This is a great time
to use leftover meat from another dish or canned chicken will work too.
Cook meat according to package directions and you can add
anything you want to the meat while it is cooking (peppers, onions, seasoning,
or any vegetable you like). Set aside when it is fully cooked.
You will need a baking dish and how big is up to you. (9x9 will work for 1-3 people and a 9x12 for
up to 8 people) These are all just a
suggestion if you like leftovers just go with big baking dish.
Get out all your
ingredients out that you will be using.
Examples of layering ingredients are below:
Cheese, black olives, onions, black beans, refried beans,
peppers, corn, tortilla, tomatoes, green chilies, jalapenos, cheese sauce if you like, red or
green sauce of your choice( I use enchilada and verde sauce), and whatever
other items you would put on your tacos.
1.
Put some
sauce in the bottom of a pan to just cover the bottom then a layer of tortillas
(1-3 will work depending on the size baking dish you use).
2.
Layer meat over the tortillas and any of the
ingredients you pick but only use half this layer. Add
sauce and cheese.
3.
Then start over with another layer of tortillas
along with the second half of the ingredients you selected.
4.
The last Enchilada layer is just tortillas with
sauce and chees over the top.
Bake in oven for about 40 minutes on 350 or 375 depending on
your oven, until it has been bubbling for about 20 minutes. Everything is cooked in it so it just needs
to be heated through.
Take out and let sit for about 10 minutes before you serve
so the liquid can evaporate off.
Dig in and enjoy this easy Enchilada bake recipe.
