Indulge in all of your favorite Mexican flavors—guilt free—with this Healthy 4-Ingredient Enchilada Casserole! It’s a quick, easy, and family-friendly dinner recipe that’s perfect for busy weeknights!

Your family will LOVE this Healthy 4 Ingredient Enchilada Casserole!

Hello, hello, friends! I’m so glad to be visiting you again from The Seasoned Mom! Are you having a nice holiday season? Do you feel like you’ve eaten a few too many Christmas cookies and enjoyed plenty of spiked eggnog? If you’re in need of a new dinner option that your family will love but that’s also kind on your waistline, then you have come to the right place!

Your family will LOVE this Healthy 4 Ingredient Enchilada Casserole!

And with only 4 ingredients, evening meals just don’t get much easier! Because, really….aren’t we all just a wee bit busy these days? Dinner recipes better be FAST and SIMPLE, or that drive-through window starts looking very appealing…

Your family will LOVE this Healthy 4 Ingredient Enchilada Casserole!

Did you ever think that you could prepare an entire casserole in about 12 minutes with just 4 basic ingredients?! I promise, it’s NOT too good to be true!

The enchilada sauce gives this dish a ton of flavor, but you can easily substitute with an equal amount of taco sauce or your favorite salsa. And while my kids like it straight out of the oven, I prefer to pile my plate high with plenty of extra toppings! I just use whatever I have on hand…avocado or guacamole, salsa, sour cream (or Greek yogurt), green onion, olives…you get the idea!

Your family will LOVE this Healthy 4 Ingredient Enchilada Casserole!

Enjoy this tasty family dinner that will help you stick to those healthy living resolutions without missing out on your favorites!

HEALTHY 4-INGREDIENT ENCHILADA CASSEROLE

Serves: 4-6

Prep: 12 mins

Bake: 50 mins

1 lb. 93% extra-lean ground beef

1 ½ cups enchilada sauce

1 cup reduced-fat shredded Mexican-blend cheese

8 (6-inch) corn tortillas

Optional garnish: sour cream, sliced green onion, sliced olives, diced avocado or guacamole, salsa

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 2-quart baking dish with nonstick spray.

2. In a large skillet, cook beef until no longer pink. Drain, return to the skillet, and stir in half of the enchilada sauce (about ¾ cup) and half of the cheese (about ½ cup).

3. Place 4 of the tortillas in the bottom of the prepared dish, tearing them as necessary to cover the bottom (overlapping is fine).

4. Top with half of the meat mixture and drizzle with ¼ cup of enchilada sauce. Repeat layers one more time.

5. Cover with foil and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until hot and bubbly. Uncover, sprinkle with remaining ½ cup of cheese, and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes (until cheese is melted).
