Hey there everyone, long time no recipes! I’m back from my hiatus with a great new recipe – enchilada casserole. As you all know, Mexican food is by far my favourite cuisine and we just happened to get home from a trip from beautiful Los Cabos so I’m on a bit of a roll with the Mexican food. This enchilada casserole recipe is absolutely drool worthy, and it doesn’t involve any tortillas which keeps it a bit lower calorie then your typical enchiladas.
