So Good!
An enchilada that is not an enchilada but a cross between an enchilada and lasagna, yes its possible and better yet very tasty.
I wanted to get out of my recent repeat meal cycle and as a result I came up with this meal. Yes the meat and veggie part of the meal is similar to a recipe I came up with before but does not taste the same when combined like this.
Oh and this tastes great leftover the next day!

This is the sauce I used. It does say mild on the can but I would say this is medium.
