Enchilada Bake

It has been absolutely forever since I have added a recipe to this blog. I wish I could say it was because I was so busy, I just didn't have time to update.....but really I have been so busy I haven't even been COOKING!! But that has got to change. I am going to be getting a CSA box come January and I am excited about all the veggies we will be receiving. I am sure I will have to get creative to use them all up!

For now, here is my favorite Winter comfort food: Enchilada Bake

Enchilada Bake

1 package corn tortillas

Enchilada sauce (green or red, homemade or storebought)

1 small can green diced chiles

Cheddar cheese

Black olives

Refried Beans (or black or pinto or chili depending on your mood. Sometimes I mix several different kinds)

Fun additions: Mexican rice (already cooked), oven roasted bell peppers

To assemble

Spread a layer of enchilada sauce in the bottom of a 9 x 13 pan. On top of this, layer tortillas, beans, sauce, cheese, chiles and olives. Repeat until you reach the top of the pan. Finish with a layer of cheese, olives and chiles.

Bake at 350 for about 30 minutes or until warm all the way through.

Serve with sour cream and a margarita!

I love this dish because it is so flexible. Sometimes I add rice, sometimes veggies. I mix up the type of beans, enchilada sauce and sometimes even the cheese.

It also makes excellent leftovers, which is a must in our household.

Enjoy!

PS. I also posted this recipe on my other blog lovinthelittlethings.blogspot.com...that's how much I love it. So so good :)
