Hi, guys!
I still can’t believe it’s August. How is summer flying by so quickly!? It’s been a whirlwind, so I haven’t been on top of my usual meal prep game. I always make sure to do a little each week, but I really need to get back at it – anyone else need to do the same?
When Mal is back to work in just a few new weeks, it’s nice to have a quickie meal that I can toss together with ingredients I always have on hand. This enchilada casserole recipe came together so quickly and made enough for several meals. I’ve been totally loving its leftovers for breakfast, especially adding an egg and avocado on top. Mmm… so delicious!! Even with it being vegetarian, Mal still found it super filling, and I had no complaints. Of course, I’m sure you can add in ground turkey or choice of protein if you’d like a little more hearty of a dish. I hope you enjoy it!

- Meanwhile, make sauce in one bowl and mix together beans + salsa in a separate larger bowl.
