This is definitely not a traditional Mexican enchilada.. but we won’t tell my grandma ok! LOL I love making authentic Mexican enchiladas but let’s be real, I hate burning my fingers when rolling them after you fry the corn tortillas in the red chile powder sauce.. It hurts like a mother ya’ll.. I swear my grandparents have no senses on their fingertips.
This recipe I came up with myself and I used Cabot White Cheddar cheese. Thank you Cabot for making such delicious cheese!!
In this recipe I used the classic cheddar. 
Ingredient List:
1 lb Browned Ground Meat (make it healthy with ground chicken or turkey!)
1 Can of Enchilada sauce
Jar of salsa
Flour tortillas (depending on how many layers you want)
2 Cups of grated Cabot Cheddar Cheese or any other cheese of your choice.
Ready to layer it up? I used a large circle casserole dish.
The recipe is really easy for this dish. All of the ingredients are easy to make and use so as long as you cook your meat before it the assembly should not take long. Depending on how meaty or cheesy you want it you can double up on your layers. I took it easy with this since it was the first time to make it like this. I covered with one more tortilla and topped it off with the remaining salsa and cheese and covered with the can of enchilada sauce. Cover and bake in your over or toaster oven like me for 35 minutes on 400. Pretty much what you want to achieve in the baking process is for all of the ingredients to blend and get hot. You could also microwave the recipe if you are low on time. But don’t cover it with foil if you do! You knew that already!
Seriously, once cooked completely it’ll look like this:
Carefully cut a slice and spoon it out with a spoon. It is super cheesy and moist. The tortillas have soaked up the juice from the salsa and enchilada sauce. Absolutely delicious!
I hope you enjoy this recipe soon!
I love easy recipes like that and this is one that I think the entire family would agree on – and that’s rare in my house sadly.
This looks yummy! Love the idea of changing out the cheese.
Doesn’t matter what time of the day it is, now I want this! I love this type of dish with sour cream and extra salsa!

I love enchiladas, but I rarely ever make them! I also love easy recipes. Definitely saving this one to try in the future.
It’s way easy Jaime! 🙂
You had me at Cabot Cheese! This looks absolutely delicious and super simple to make for the family. The easiest recipes are usually the best ones!
I agree Jessica! 🙂
I bet my husband would love this!! We will have to make it!
I’ve never tried to make enchiladas, but these look like I could do them!
This is definitely the easiest way to make them and still feel like it’s enchiladas 🙂 Layer it up Virginia.
Hohohohoho…..this looks freaking delicious. And it looks easy enough that i wouldn’t burn it up if I tried to make it! Thanks!
Oh yeah it’s way easy! Just don’t burn the meat!! 😉
We love Mexican food but have gotten in a rut of tacos, nachos, and quesadillas. This looks like something fresh and yummy to try!
This looks delicious. I’m going to have to tell my hubby about this recipe!
This looks incredible! I loved that you put the pictures as they layers they are supposed to be in! Nom nom.
Oh my goodness, your enchiladas look amazing! Thanks for sharing your recipe, I’ve never tried one like this before.
I have never made enchiladas because it looked like too much work. This, though – makes it look easy. Thanks!
This recipe seems really nice. I like the fat that it is easy to do.
oh my goodness. i love love love enchiladas
This looks so good that I just had to pin it. I hope mine will be as delicious as yours sounds and looks like!
Oh Joanna thank you so much for your pin! I bet it will be!!
Those sound fantastic. I have never had an enchilada casserole! Sounds like a great work week dinner.
I am loving all the salsa that you added. And cheese. Oh, this looks so tasty!
It just makes it so tasty! And I was really into the salsa that day!! hahaha
Oh my goodness this looks super yummy! I have to give this a try. I’m sure the kids would love it!
My sister and I used to make our Enchiladas like this but I lost the recipe, so glad I came across this today!
Awesome Jaime! Thanks for stopping by! Enjoy the recipe!
This looks so delicious. I love eating anything with cheese on top!
That looks sooo good! I can’t wait to try this in my family. 🙂
Oh my gosh love this! I can’t believe that when I first started cooking I thought casseroles only consisted of cream of mushroom/chicken and a veggie!
Thanks for the recipe, my MIL used to make something similar and my husband has been trying to find a recipe for it for years! Going to try this!
