Loving You, Wasn't the Right Thing to Do

Enchilada Casserole

I have made similar versions after realizing individual rolling of the torts for enchiladas is very time consuming.  You can use less tortillas in a casserole if you layer it with vegetables too.  The sauce is really the best part, how it hits the cheese and the onions along with that big bite of cool crisp thin sliced iceberg lettuce. 

I layered with ground beef, black beans, corn, corn tortillas, cheese, onions and sauce.

Cheddar is like the one asshole I can't quit.  The best I can do at this point is just to manage him in my daily life.  It's mainly about portion control and even though this dish could use a more substantial vegetable side,  the cool salad bed was very filling and allowed me to enjoy a quarter of the slice I had envisioned in my dreams.  I didn't include cheese in every layer, mostly just on top, which helps.  As long as all the extra bites at the stove don't count and I'm pretty sure they don't, then I'm actually handling the calorie count quite nicely.

Easy scrambled breakfast earlier with chick peas, potato and bacon. Using up those leftovers like a champ!
