I love Mexican food. Well, mostly I really love margaritas but I also enjoy enchiladas. Margaritas and enchiladas are a pretty great Friday night in my house.
So any chance I get to serve a Mexican dish for dinner, I jump on it in a hurry. The kids will eat anything with cheese and they love rice so this casserole is perfect for them.

This casserole turned out so delicious. It’s like a real enchilada without the extra carbs of the tortillas, which made Matt happy since he’s counting carbs lately.
I put the casserole together in the morning and refrigerated it so all I had to do when I got home was to add the cooked rice and pop it in the oven.
