This has all the flavors of enchiladas but this is easier to make as there is no filling and rolling! --- all ingredient amounts can be adjusted to taste and toppings are only optional --- canned enchilada sauce works great or see recipe#168653

This casserole was a bit too spicy for me, but my husband loved it. He said it was the perfect amount of spice. I would recommend using less salsa if you don't like spicy food.
