I came up with this when I was pressed for time but had promised Enchiladas for dinner - I may never make traditional enchiladas again. This is faster and easier and in my opinion just tastes better.

Categories     Onions

Time 55m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 lb hamburger (can use 1 1/2 lb if you want more meat)

longhorn cheese, to taste
3 -5 flour tortillas
salt
pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Sprinkle and mix in the enchilada sauce mix. Let this simmer for 20 minutes for until this thickens up a bit. Season to taste.
  • Spray with non stick cooking spray an 11 x 7 (if you want thick layers) or a 9X13 (if you want thinner layers - more tortillas). Cut the tortillas up to cover the bottom of the baking dish. Layer the meat mixture, layer of cheese and then a layer of tortillas, meat, layer tortillas and then top with cheese to cover up the tortillas.
  • Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 30 minutes. Remove foil and cook for another 10 min or until cheese melts and browns up just a bit.

Tips:

  • Choose the right tortillas. Corn tortillas are the traditional choice for enchiladas, but you can also use flour tortillas. If you're using corn tortillas, be sure to soften them in warm water before assembling the casserole.
  • Use a variety of fillings. Enchiladas can be filled with just about anything, from beans and cheese to chicken and vegetables. Get creative and experiment with different flavor combinations.
  • Don't overfill the tortillas. When filling the tortillas, be careful not to overstuff them. Otherwise, they'll be difficult to roll up and will fall apart when you bake them.
  • Use a flavorful sauce. The sauce is what really makes enchiladas special. Choose a sauce that is flavorful and has a bit of a kick. You can use a store-bought sauce or make your own.
  • Bake the casserole until the cheese is melted and bubbly. The casserole should be baked until the cheese is melted and bubbly. This usually takes about 20-25 minutes.

Conclusion:

Enchilada stack-up casserole is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It's also a great way to use up leftover chicken or beef. With so many different variations, there's an enchilada casserole out there for everyone. So get creative and experiment with different flavor combinations until you find one that you love.
