While we love Mexican food, especially the enchiladas filling them individually can be time-consuming. Making it in an oven-safe skillet allows for making it a one-pot meal, where you saute the veggies on the stovetop and then pop it in the oven as the cheese topping melts to ooey-gooey perfection. A great way to enjoy all the flavors and the best part is that there is only one pan to clean. Enter your email & I’ll send it to your inbox. Plus, get great new recipes from me every week!

Tips and Substitutes
To make enchilada casserole vegan, substitute the Mexican cheese blend with dairy-free shredded cheese This casserole dish is medium spicy, to make it spicier add additional jalapeno or spicy red chili powder Black beans can be substituted with red kidney beans or a protein of your choice Add more enchilada sauce to make the dish saucier.
Can I Use Flour Tortillas Instead of Corn?
Corn tortillas are traditionally used to make enchiladas. You can substitute with flour tortillas if you like but they will have a slightly chewy bite to them
