Well, well, well. Look what we have here.
A NON-SOUP RECIPE!
It’s been awhile, but it’s finally here. I took some time to actually spend a night cooking healthy salads, breakfasts and snacks for myself, rather than just clients. And all I wanted was Mexican food when it came to stocking the fridge for lunch/dinners for moi. Oh, and refried beans. I needed those.
I was slightly lazy and used canned refried beans (Amy’s, low-sodium, organic, BPA-free is a MUST have, if you’re using canned) but feel free to use my homemade recipe if you’re feeling ambitious. That recipe is linked to another enchilada casserole, which is pretty similar to this version. But I always like revamping older recipes a bit and making them better.
And this one…is definitely an improvement. Plus, it’s gluten-free!
