Enchilada Casserole (GF Option)

By Kelly · 4 Comments


This delicious enchilada casserole is so versatile. Simply use any precooked meat or poultry that you have on hand and combine it with some gluten-free tortillas, pinto beans, homemade enchilada sauce and lots of other delicious real food ingredients to create a hearty, flavorful meal the whole family with love.

This casserole makes a wonderful meal to make for a “meals ministry” or church fellowship. It also freezes well, so why not prepare two and freeze one for a future meal. When ready to bake, simply thaw the casserole completely in the fridge, and then bake for a quick weeknight meal.
