Lazy Enchiladas
Lazy Enchiladas are a popular twist on a more traditional enchilada recipe. Lazy Enchiladas use three store-bought ingredients, take minutes to put together and are ready to serve in less than 30 minutes. They are sure to become a family favorite on those nights where you want a quick and amazingly delicious meal.
Ingredients
- 12 to 18 count package large frozen taquitos (See Tip 1)
- 2 cups canned enchilada sauce (See Tip 2)
- 2 cups (8-ounces) Mexican blend shredded cheese
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Spray a 9 x 13-inch baking dish with vegetable oil spray.
- Spread frozen taquitos in a single layer in the baking dish. Spray lightly with vegetable oil spray. Bake uncovered in preheated 400°F oven for 10 minutes or until lightly golden brown. (See Tip 3)
- Remove taquitos from oven. Pour enchilada sauce over taquitos and sprinkle on shredded cheese. Return uncovered to the 400°F oven for 10 to 12 minutes or until the enchilada sauce is bubbly and the cheese is melted.
- Allow to cool for several minutes. Serve with your favorite condiments such as shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, chopped green onion tops, sliced black olives, sour cream, etc.
- Yield: 4 servings.
Tips/Notes
- Use your favorite frozen taquitos in this recipe. I used chicken and cheese.
- My favorite canned enchilada sauce to use in this recipe is Las Palmas Green Chile Enchilada sauce. However, use whatever canned enchilada sauce you like. Alternatively use home-made. Use any leftover enchilada sauce for another purpose.
- Frozen taquitos come in different quantities. Feel free to use the entire package or however many you want.
