Vegetarian Enchilada casserole

This is the thing with being a food blogger. Sometimes you shoot food that not only tastes great but also looks really great. Just as there are people that are super photogenic, so there are recipes that are photogenic. This is not one of those. Don’t get me wrong, it looks like golden-cheesy-deliciousness but it’s not pretty. There aren’t any bright colours or beautiful textures to capture. It just is what it is. And what it is, is mouth watering, it’s relatively healthy and it’s packed with everything a week night dinner should be.

You should all know by now that I am a massive fan of Mexican food. Quesidillas, Tacos, Margaritas. Love.It.All. I’ve wanted to do a more crowd-friendly version of one of my favourites, vegetarian enchiladas, for a while now. I love enchiladas the traditional way but stuffing and rolling them for a crowd is just too much mission. This way of doing it makes it so much easier. Served with guacamole, sour cream and fresh pico de gallo, this is turned into one of those meals your friends and family will be asking for time and time again.
