What exactly is an enchilada? An enchilada is simply meat wrapped around a warm tortilla and served with spicy sauce and melted cheese. Now to make this into a casserole, you just have to layer the ingredients rather than roll, making this dish easy to make and serve, and very ideal for outdoor events!
