Why use low-fat on this dish? Use what tastes good and enjoy a smaller portion. I have made this dish for years (called it "stacked Enchiladas")using beef or pulled pork, green enchilada sauce or red but I never compromised flavor for low-fat.
I used whole wheat tortillas. This dish got twelve thumbs up at my house and it was voted as a keeper and a rerun!!
THANKS!
I like this lighter version of a Mexican lasagna, people that would like it full fat should not be harsh on the cook that gave this recipe, just make it your way, really liked the dish, thank-you to the cook, I'm proud of you for sticking to your style.
Used shredded slow cooker pork loin--delish!
This is a great recipe that can easily be doubled or more to make a tasty dish to take to a potluck. Depending on the enchilada sauce and the seasonings, this can have a nice amount of "heat" which is tempered by the sour cream. I spread the beans on the tortillas before placing them in the pan. Once I had all the bean-covered tortillas in place, I scooped sour cream on top and spread around with a spatula. Did all the rest of the layering from there. Easy peasy.
I was trying to use up all the groceries I actually had in the house before going to the store and came across this recipe when I plugged refried beans into the ingredient search. I used ground chuck made my own taco seasoning and enchilada sauce and combined mozzarella and cheddar cheese instead of using the Mexican blend. I also used only 9 corn tortillas. To make things easier I spread the refried beans onto the tortillas as I laid them in the pan. This turned out quite good. No one would ever believe I was toward the end of my groceries!
This tasted really good for a low fat recipe. I had a little trouble spreading the beans maybe next time i will spread it on each tortilla before layering. I also added green onions on top before serving.
Fabulous! a great recipe however you like it w/full fat ingredients as the recipes contributor noted can be swapped in per your preference. I find myself making it with some lower fat ingredients and some full... but thats the way we like it. I don't race around focused on being "fit" 24-7 and I don't completely ignore the fact that healthy eating and living translates into a longer life. That said for those in either extremist camp.. enjoy what you want but don't make me suffer your lifestyle preaching. I have my own and LOVE it! and I love this recipe. for a slight change try flour tortillas and if you use the larger ones they're easily cut and arranged to fit whatever pan/dish you use. I've even tried in a bundt pan! that was fun! Thanks for posting the recipe Katherine!
This was very tasty, however, I am glad I didn't open the second can of sauce. As it was very saucy with just one 12oz can of enchilada sauce. I actually baked it an extra 15 minutes until I had bubbles in the middle and the cheese was browned around the edges. Will make again.
