Loved it! This will be a frequent flyer in my collection. I like some heat, so I added a fresh jalapeno to the veggie mix and used one medium and one hot enchilada sauce. Added black olives to my man's half. Easy, tasty and not terrible for you. What more could you want!

My daughter made this recipe for us last night, she got the recipe from eating well, and it was easy and delicious! I was going to add it, but you beat me to it!!! This one is getting added to my dinner rotation!

Delish! I attempted to cut the fat even more by leaving out the oil and using just a little bit of low fat cheese on the top only. Used medium spiced green enchilada sauce. Leftovers were great for lunches. Thanks for posting this tasty dish! I would make it again.
