Texas-Style Enchilada Casserole
This Tex-Mex enchilada casserole is genuinely the finest regarding homemade Mexican dishes. It has a gentle heat accompanied by rich taste.
Before we dive in, I want to mention that I realize many of you (don’t turn away, I mean YOU!) will disregard this recipe due to the ingredients.
I acknowledge that it’s lengthy, but I urge you to reach into your cooking spirit and believe me when I say that it seems more daunting than it truly is. Commitment.
Without any exaggeration, this Mexican-inspired dish is undoubtedly the top Mexican/Tex-Mex recipe I have ever shared. I’m not joking.
I prepare a fair amount of Mexican dishes but often feel somewhat disappointed, and 90% of the recipes never get shared because I genuinely only want to showcase the very best for you to enjoy.
This enchilada casserole is genuinely the finest of the finest.
It has a gentle level of spiciness (you can certainly increase the heat if preferred) but boasts an amazing taste from the traditional cumin/chili powder/coriander combination and a variety of peppers, onion, and garlic. Rapidly browning the corn tortillas before assembling is smart since, although they soften somewhat during baking, they retain a delicious level of tenderness and texture that prevents the casserole from turning into a wet, mushy disaster.
I don’t know your stance, but I strongly feel that soggy, mushy casseroles have no place on Earth.
I experience my share of food cravings; dishes inspired by Mexican cuisine are seldom, seldom one of them. Up to this point. I've genuinely wanted to prepare this casserole every day since we first tried it.
The remnants are amazing, and I've already secured the authentic dish on our meal plan for next week because it's simply that delicious. I mean, simply observe it.
Doesn’t it shout “devour me” with all that cheesy, saucy, black bean deliciousness? As articulated by those far more articulate than me: Holy Yum.
What to Accompany This
Tortilla chips (or for a fancier option, these Curried Nachos with Mango Salsa)
New, seasonal produce
Steamed vegetables or a dish similar to Skillet Squash Medley.
Annotations
Poblanos: don’t be intimidated by the poblano chile! If I can locate it in my local grocery store, you can discover it as well. Poblanos are quite mild and elongated, being slimmer than a bell pepper. Simply accomplish it. You will be pleased with the taste it adds.
Ingredients: don’t let the lengthy ingredient list discourage you. This assembles rapidly and flawlessly.
Freezer Meal: I haven't attempted freezing this in advance, but I believe it would likely do quite well as a freezer meal.
Meat: additionally (and I assure you this is the final point), it has a strong possibility of being amazing as a meat-free dish if you leave out the ground meat (or alternatively, replacing the meat with cooked chicken).
