About Enchilada casserole

Enchilada Casserole is a hearty, flavorful dish rooted in Mexican cuisine, featuring layers of corn tortillas, seasoned meat or beans, cheese, and a rich, spiced enchilada sauce. Often including ingredients like onions, peppers, and sometimes olives, this casserole combines vibrant flavors and textures in a warm, baked format. While it’s a comfort food favorite, its nutritional profile can vary depending on preparation. Lean proteins like shredded chicken or ground turkey, along with fiber-packed beans, can enhance its healthiness. Adding extra vegetables boosts vitamins and minerals, while scaling back on cheese or using low-fat varieties can reduce saturated fat. However, traditional versions may be high in calories, sodium, and fat due to the cheese, refined tortillas, and canned sauces. By opting for whole-grain tortillas, making homemade sauces, and controlling portions, it’s possible to enjoy this satisfying dish in a balanced way.
