Ingredients

Amazingly delicious, healthy enchiladas start with whole-grain tortillas and enchilada sauce made from scratch. Put your own touch on the casserole by mixing up the vegetables with your family's favorites. This recipe is very flexible - if you're using canned goods that use a little more or a little less of any one ingredient, don't sweat it, just use what you've got!Not cooking for a crowd? Split this recipe into two 9x9 pans and freeze one for later! You won't get exhausted by eating the same thing for a week and a half straight, and you'll have an easy meal ready to pop in the oven on a busy night. Give it about an hour and a half to cook if you're working from frozen and you'll be good to go!
