Are you craving a hearty and flavorful Mexican-inspired dish that’s easy to make? Look no further than the mouthwatering chicken enchilada casserole! Combining the comforting flavors of traditional enchiladas with the convenience of a casserole, this dish is sure to become a family favorite. This recipe is naturally gluten-free, and it’s been a staple in our home for years.
This casserole makes a great freezer meal. I like to always make two casseroles at once: one to eat that day and one to freeze. I have directions for heating from frozen in the recipe as well.
