A classic Mexican recipe which is always a success in our house. Enchilada Casserole is are easy to make and divine to eat. The children love these and it is an easy meal to get on the table when back from work. I usually serve this with a simple Chayote Salad – Ensalada de Chayote. It is a traditional Mexican salad that combines so well. When you have this in your repertoire, it will become a go to main dish recipe. Also, one of the benefits of this dish is that most of the ingredients are either frozen or tinned. You can buy it one day and make it when you want.
