Enhance the Filling:
- Add diced bell peppers, onions, or zucchini for extra vegetables.
- Use a combination of ground beef and ground turkey for a leaner filling.
- Season the filling generously with chili powder, cumin, oregano, and salt.
- Add a can of diced green chilies for a spicy kick.
Upgrade the Sauce:
- Use a homemade enchilada sauce instead of canned sauce.
- Add a cup of chicken or beef broth to the sauce for a richer flavor.
- Stir in a spoonful of tomato paste to thicken the sauce.
- For a creamy sauce, blend a can of condensed cream of mushroom or cream of chicken soup into the sauce.
Additional Toppings:
- Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the casserole.
- Add a layer of sour cream for a tangy contrast.
- Top with chopped cilantro, onions, or olives for freshness.
Baking Techniques:
- Before baking, cover the casserole dish with aluminum foil to prevent the top from browning too quickly.
- Let the casserole rest for 10-15 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
- If you want a crispy topping, broil the casserole on low for the last few minutes of baking.
Other Tips:
- Use large tortillas to make it easier to fill and roll.
- If the tortillas are too soft, heat them in the microwave for a few seconds to make them more pliable.
- For a low-carb version, use lettuce wraps or cauliflower tortillas.
- Prepare the casserole ahead of time and refrigerate it. Bake it when you’re ready to serve.
