Chilaquiles Casserole

From EatingWell: June/July 2006

Our version of this enchilada-style chilaquiles casserole is packed with nutritious beans and vegetables. Canned prepared enchilada sauce has great flavor and keeps the prep time quick. It can vary in heat level so find one that suits your taste. If you want to eliminate the heat altogether, try a green enchilada sauce (which is often milder than red) or substitute two 8-ounce cans of plain tomato sauce.

READER'S COMMENT:

"I live in New York City where the "Mexican" food is abysmal, because there is too much Caribbean influence here. I am originally from Southern California and I miss what I consider to be the good Mexican stuff. But why are black beans so...

I adore this recipe so versitile. You can use hot enchildia if feeling spicey or add jalapeno. I do one half with chicken for are meat lovers and leave the other half Veg. Great eat it every three weeks or so! Yum

I am a chef at a private Montessori school. I use this recipe for the lunch program. The students and faculty love it. I did tweek the recipe a bit. I add refried black beans along with the whole black beans, makes it a little thicker. Also added cumin and salsa to the mix. I did not use enchillada sauce between each layer, only on top.

I didn't have any zucchini in the house, so I shredded about 3 cups of fresh spinach leaves and layered it in - amazing! I could make this again and just use the bean mixture for a taco filling- skip the bake time! Fast, easy, tasty (I added some ground chili pepper for a little more zip).

This is a great and easy casserole to make for almost any occation. My other half could not stop eating this. It is just the two of us and there were not many leftovers, so I thought I would have them from lunch the next day. No such luck, he had eaten the rest for breakfast. This recipe will be made as written many more times in this house.
