EASY BEEF ENCHILADA CASSEROLE - LAZY ENCHILADAS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 1.5-quart round casserole dish with non-stick spray (or 8-inch square pan).
• Slice the corn tortillas into 3 strips each. TIP: stack the tortillas and use a pizza cutter to slice them. This step is why we may refer to this as lazy enchiladas if you don't have the time to stuff and roll each tortilla!
• In a large saute pan, cook and break up the ground beef until no longer pink. The texture should be finely ground (no big chunks of meat). Drain off the fat.
• Add the salsa, enchilada sauce, water, and all the spices and seasonings. Stir well. Simmer uncovered 5 minutes. Taste test and add more salt if desired.
• To the casserole dish, add half the sliced corn tortillas, half the meat sauce, then the cheese. Repeat layer of tortilla strips, meat sauce, and cheese.
• Bake uncovered for 15 minutes.

T'S LAZY ENCHILADA CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Boil the chicken breasts in water with a little bit of salt and garlic for flavor until chicken is cooked and tender. Preheat oven to 350°F or 375°F depending on dish used. Let chicken cool for a few minutes and then shred. Once the chicken is shredded place it in a bowl.
• Get 3 quart rectangular dish and spread enchilada sauce on the bottom. Then place four or 5 tortillas on bottom so that it is covered (like making lasagna). After placing layer of tortillas add another layer of enchilada sauce, coating tortillas. Then add chicken to make the first layer. Add second layer of tortillas, then coat with enchilada sauce. After coating add cheese to make a cheese layer. Continue to make layers of cheese and then chicken until desired number of layers. After creating last layer, cover with another layer of tortillas, coat with sauce and add cheese on top (once again similar to lasagna).
• Cook in on oven for 25-30 minutes or until top layer of cheese looks melted and bubbly. Remove let cool for 5 minutes and enjoy! Garnish with sour cream on top if you desire or on the side.
