Enchilada Bake

Feeling a little mexican tonight. We are re-purposing some left overs from over the weekend. This is really easy and great for a larger family.

Enchilada Bake:

Things you'll need:


1 (12oz) box of medium shells
3 large bell peppers any color you choose
1 medium red onion diced
1 jalepeno diced
2 tbsp olive oil
2 cups cooked beef or chicken
1 (16oz) can refried beans
1 packet of taco seasoning
2 (10oz) cans of enchilada sauce red or green
1 (8oz) package of shredded mexican cheese
1 cup sliced green onion
2 cups of crushed tortilla chips
avocado dip or sour cream

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Cook pasta; drain, rinse and set aside
  • In a skillet over medium heat oil and cook sweet peppers, onion, jalapeno, and season with salt and pepper until tender about 5 minutes
  • Stir in chicken or beef, beans, taco seasoning, and 1/2 cup enchilada sauce. Cook and stir 5 minutes
  • Add 1/2 cup each of the cheese and green onions
  • Mix the shells with the filling
  • Spread 1 cup of the remaining enchilada sauce in a 9 x 13 baking dish. Arrange shells on top sauce 
  • Drizzle with remaining enchilada sauce
  • Bake, covered, for 30 minutes 
  • Uncover; sprinkle with remaining cheese. Bake for 5 more minutes or until cheese is melted 
  • Sprinkle with chips and remaining green onions. Serve with avocado dip and/or sour cream. Makes 8 to 10 servings

This was so good! Everyone loved it and it was super filling!
