Baked Enchilada Casserole


AY AY AY! When we talk about delicious and super easy dinners, this is one for the books! I just crafted this little master piece yesterday for our dinner and I knew I had to share it right away. It's going to be a new staple piece for nights I don't feel like doing too much cooking! Lets jump right in!


      


Prep Time: 5 minutes                  Cook Time: 30 minutes


Ingredients:

  • 1.5 c. uncooked quinoa 
  • 3 c. water
  • 14 oz. enchilada sauce
  • 3/4 c frozen corn
  • 2-3 Tbs. chopped cilantro
  • 4.5 oz. chopped and drained green chilies
  • 3/4 c. drained black beans ( I used canned)
  • 3/4 tsp. cumin
  • 3/4 tsp. chili powder
  • 3/4 c. mozzarella cheese (I use Daiya because it melts well)
  • 3/4 c. cheddar cheese 
  • salt and pepper to flavor
  • 1 avocado
  • 1/2 c black olives- sliced
  • 1 tomato

Directions:

  1. In a large pan add quinoa and 3 c. of water. cook according to packaged instructions, set to the side.
  2.  Preheat oven to 375ยบ F. We will be baking the casserole in a 9x9 pan, feel free to grease yours if you feel necessary. I didn't, and mine turned out excellent
  3. In a large bowl combine enchilada sauce, quinoa, corn, cilantro, beans, spices, and 1/2 c. of each cheese. Mix well. 
  4. Spread the mixture into the 9x9 pan. Top with the remaining cheeses. Bake until the cheese melts, around 15-17 minutes.
  5. Garnish with sliced olives, avocado, and tomatoes. 
  6. serve immediately and ENJOY!
