STACKED FAJITA VEGETABLE ENCHILADA CASSEROLE



Stacked Fajita Vegetable Enchilada Casserole image

This has become a staple meal at our house. It is a great way to help use refrigerator delights (leftovers) or to make from scratch. It is a tasty dish we have served to our meat-eating friends and family with rave reviews. The 'cheese' sauce could be substituted for real cheese. Use your choice of red, yellow, green, or orange bell peppers, and black beans, kidney beans, or pinto beans.

STACKED ROASTED VEGETABLE ENCHILADAS



Stacked Roasted Vegetable Enchiladas image

This is a very versatile recipe from Perry's Plate. Feel free to switch out the vegetables or cheese for those you like, add some beans or shredded chicken if your family is particularly carnivorous, or even use flour tortillas if you don't have (or like) corn. If you don't like spicy, make sure to use mild salsa since there is a lot of it.

Time 1h25m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 poblano chile, cut into matchsticks
2 red bell peppers, cut into matchsticks
1/2 head cauliflower, cut into 1/2-inch chunks
1 small sweet potato, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch cubes (about 1 1/2 cups)
1 medium onion, halved and slivered
1 cup corn kernel (fresh or frozen)
3 tablespoons heat-safe oil (like grapeseed or coconut)
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 garlic cloves, minced
salt and black pepper
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
2 cups salsa or 2 cups pico de gallo
2 ounces baby spinach leaves (about 2 big handfuls)
9 -10 corn tortillas, halved
2 cups shredded cheese (I used a cheddar-Monterey Jack blend)
sour cream
thinly sliced scallion, for garnish, if desired

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Lightly oil a large shallow roasting pan or rimmed cookie sheet.
  • Place poblanos, red bell peppers, cauliflower, sweet potato, onion, and corn kernels onto cookie sheet. Drizzle olive oil and sprinkle the cumin and minced garlic over top. Add a generous pinch or two of salt and black pepper, then use your hands to mix everything together. After everything is coated well, spread the vegetables evenly in the pan. Roast for 30-40 minutes until vegetables are tender and begin to brown in spots. Stir or shake the pan every 10 minutes for even roasting. Remove pan from oven and reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F.
  • Prepare an 8x8x2 or 9x9x2-inch square baking pan with nonstick spray. In a small bowl, stir the cilantro into the salsa. Spread 1/4 cup of salsa into the bottom of the baking pan. Add a layer of tortilla pieces, to completely cover the salsa. Top with 1/3 of the vegetables, a handful of spinach, and 1/3 of the cheese. Make a second layer of tortilla, salsa, vegetables, spinach, and cheese. Top with with a layer of tortillas, salsa, vegetables, and cheese. Cover with aluminum foil.
  • Bake for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake another 10 minutes, until cheese is melted and everything is heated through.
  • Let it sit for 5 minutes and cut into squares. Serve with sour cream and a sprinkle of sliced scallions.

ENCHILADA STACK CASSEROLE



Enchilada Stack Casserole image

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.

Provided by Ceezie

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)
1 onion, diced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 5/8 ounces dry dry enchilada mix (Lawry's)
1 cup salsa
1 cup tomatoes, stewed
1 pint tomatoes, stewed
longhorn cheese, to taste
3 -5 flour tortillas
salt
pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Brown the hamburger, drain off fat. Add the onion, minced garlic, salsa and tomatoes. I can my own tomatoes but you can really use any tomato you want as long as you can kind of mash it up. 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.
  • Cut and serve with sour cream, diced tomatoes and lettuce.
