Enchilada CaseroleOctober 27, 2009By Zulmagc
"I was looking at some enchilada recipes, and I read the one about the tortilla chip caserole. How it was more of a side dish then a main dish. Try to do it with flour tortillas just cook them slightly in oil. Then start laying them flat on the cooking pan, and start layering it with the toppings I usually put mild enchilada sauce, meat, onion, bell peppers, and cheese. It is delicious and you could use it as a main dish."
