Easy Enchilada Pie

Submitted by shells75

"I got this off an internet site years ago and it's my favorite Mexican dish to make. It was from Roy Clark in Midwest Living Oct 1984. I have also made it with shredded chicken breast, and the last couple of times I made it I added a can of drained, rinsed light kidney beans. It's so yummy, honest! I lighten it up just a little using Campbell's "healthy" cream of chicken soup and skim or low fat milk. I also don't add the entire pack of taco seasoning...maybe about 3/4....but it's a taste preference."

I needed something easy to fix tonight for dinner. I came across this recipe and had to try it, boy am I glad I did. Everyone loved it. The only changes I made was to make it in a 11-1/2 x 7-inch pan and I used flour tortillas my husband doesn't like corn tortillas. This was so flavorful and so easy. Next time I will use about 3/4 or less taco seasoning it was a little spicey for my little ones. We will be having this often. Thanks so much for posting shells75!

I made this while also making the Easy Taco Pie. It was easy to prepare and very tasty. Everyone at my house loved it and I have some picky eaters. Thank you for sharing this recipe. I think next time I will try nacho cheese soup instead of cream of chicken and see how that fares. Thanks again.

My husband and I love this recipe. It is so easy I can whip it together when we come home from work and with the two of us we can have it for two nights. The only thing I substitute is ground turkey for ground beef. Even made it for company one night using shredded chicken. Yummy.
