If you’re craving enchiladas or tacos but don’t feel like doing all of those extra steps, this recipe is for you!! All the flavor of those dishes but in one easy baked dish. The flavors in this dish include a little bit of spice from the enchilada sauce and chili powder along with cheesy goodness from all the melted Monterey Jack.
