Enchilada Casserole

This is my go-to recipe. I love this recipe because it's easy, I can use whatever vegetables I have, and when I feel like something Mexican I'll make this. This recipe I have also converted into personal size enchiladas. I have this small rectangle glass dish that's a little smaller than a bread pan and I do the same recipe but just in smaller quantity. Instead of popping it in the oven I put it in the microwave for 3 minutes. So this can also be used for a very quick and fast weeknight dinner for one or two people.
