What’s for Dinner–Enchilada Bake

This is a guest post by Tracy from Having Fun Saving

One of my favorite types of food is Mexican and my mom has an awesome recipe for an Enchilada Bake – she makes it for us just about every time she visits – I will warn you though – she always makes a mess in the kitchen with this one    She prefers her beans mushed (as in put thru the food processor – so if you have issues with beans too – this may be an option for you too!)  If you want to add some meat or chicken to it – you definitely can – we have had it both ways and it’s great!

What you need:

• 1/2 cup chopped onions
• 1 clove garlic – minced
• 1 cup mushrooms – diced
• 1 green pepper – chopped
• 2 cups of canned beans – rinsed
• 1.5 cups of stewed tomatoes
• 1 tbls chili powder
• 8 tortillas
• 4 oz shredded mozzarella
• 4 oz shredded cheddar

What you do:

• Preheat Oven to 350 degrees
• Sauté onion, pepper, and garlic
• Add beans (or beans and meat mixture), tomatoes, mushrooms, and chili powder
• Simmer for about 30 minutes
• Spray baking dish with PAM
• Layer mixture in-between tortillas
• Top with cheese
• Bake for 15 – 18 minutes or until warm throughout

*optional – top with sour cream and/salsa

Enjoy!

Thanks Tracy, what a yummy dinner we will have tonight…..
