 My husband is crazy about Mexican food. I swear, he could eat it every single day – AND for every single meal of the day! I do like it, too, but I’d rather have more variety when it comes to our dinner routine. However, every Monday we are having Mexican food simply because he can’t live without it! This awesome enchilada recipe has been his favorite for a while already, so today I’m going to share it with you.

The key to this incredible, cheesy-baked Mexican dish, is that it’s swirling in spicy, homemade enchilada sauce. Let the warm tortillas bake in this concoction, and you have an easy recipe, that will please the whole family. Ready in an hour, this recipe yields 6-8 servings, but be quick on the seconds, because this dish never makes it to leftover-land.

Quick tip: Add some hot sauce if you like your enchiladas spicy!

If you want something with a little Mexican or Tex-Mex flavor that is tasty but a bit outside the usual options, this Slow Cooker Chicken Enchilada Casserole is a good choice. It’s also really easy to put together.

Is this “traditional”? Well, no, I don’t think you can call it that, but I do like the flavor, and sometimes, you have to be a bit creative and go in a non-traditional direction to keep things interesting and get out of a food rut. And I know that some traditionalists may frown a bit on the “dash of this, can of that” style of cooking, but it is a quick and easy way to mix things up a bit and make a hearty meal. Suffice it to say that I will be breaking out my Crock-Pot for this again.

The Easiest Mexican Dinner You’ll Ever Make

This Easy Chicken Enchilada Casserole brings all of the flavor without all of the hassle. With just four ingredients and a few basic steps, you can have a Mexican-style meal for six on your table in just over an hour.

I do enjoy my Mexican and Tex-Mex cuisine, but preparing each individual serving yourself (or even, in the case of basic tacos, setting things up for people to serve themselves) can be more than a bit of a hassle. The easiest solution for this is to combine everything into a casserole, as this chicken enchilada casserole recipe does. It’s simply good Mexican flavor without much hassle or effort at all!

This is also the perfect dish to serve for a large crowd. You can easily double the ingredients and make this in two casserole dishes – that’s plenty for everyone at your next get-together! Or maybe you’d just like to have enough leftovers to heat up for lunch the next day..?

Quick Tip: Serve this meal with Spanish rice and refried beans.

Enjoy restaurant-quality Mexican cuisine in the comfort of your home: Enchiladas With Red Homemade Enchilada Sauce. This recipe is readily adaptable to a variety of different meat choices, or you can even try a vegetarian option. That’s why it’s the perfect recipe for everyone – with small adjustments you can always make it your own! I like to add in various ingredients that I know my family likes such as black olives, green peppers, and mild pepper rings. I know some people may think that mild pepper rings are more of an Italian ingredient (think antipasto salad) but my family and I prefer them with our Mexican meals, too.

Maybe it is just the heat, but something about summer makes the prospect of enjoying good Mexican cuisine just that more enticing.  I hadn’t tried making my own enchiladas at home previously, but I was happy that I tried these.  They were better than what I have had at a number of Mexican restaurants over the years.  And that homemade enchilada sauce really sealed the deal.

Seriously, homemade enchilada sauce is something to be coveted. If you don’t feel like making your own find someone who does because the sauce is what makes this dish such a success. You can’t be this quality in a can, folks.
