Enchilada Pie

Posted on by

It was mexican again for dinner the other night. I tried the enchilada pie and the hubby loved it. It was easy to put together. I even made it that afternoon and put in the fridge until the hubby was on his way home. Then I popped it into the oven. Easy! I think it could’ve had some black beans (or any type of beans really), the recipe calls for black olives-but despite my attempt to find them-I couldn’t. And as I was hurrying through the grocery store I forgot the chiles. I would probably put cilantro in it as well. The recipe calls for turkey but I used beef instead. This would probably taste yummy with chicken as well. I also used fresh garlic and onion. I didn’t heat the oil alone, I poured the oil in the pan, put in the garlic and onion then turned on the stove. As my husband calls it, I let those flavors infuse and ‘get happy.’ Hope you enjoy this delicious meal. Recipe & picture from What2Cook, check it out for more yummy recipes. Enchilada-Pie
