My family really loves enchilada casserole and my mom has been making it for as long as I can remember. This Healthy Enchilada Casserole recipe not only tastes authentic, but can also be made two ways – Beef or Chicken. And I know what authentic Mexican food should taste like! My father emigrated from Mexico, so I am a first generation American. My family also usually visits Mexico at lease once a year and we are big foodies, so we tend to eat our way through tons of tacos, tamales, and enchiladas. Between that, and just living in the Southwest, I consider my opinions on Mexican food pretty refined.
Usually, I base the recipes I share off of ones that have already been made, but this one comes directly from my family and is near to my heart. Naturally, once we realized we had to eat healthier, the recipe had to be tweaked in order to fit our needs. After a little trial and error, we settled on the recipe you see before you. It is a huge hit in my home and think it will be in yours too – Buen Provecho!

I have tried both of these sauces and can confirm that they taste good and work really well for this Healthy Enchilada Casserole recipe. Best if used with the red sauce for Beef and the green sauce for Chicken.
