This was easy and like the enchilada skillets, you can change up the vegetables easily.
This was so easy and so delicious!
Easy and tasty. Subbed veggie crumbles for turkey, worked perfect.
Everyone loved this more than me.
Used the Trader Joe’s enchilada sauce and it was amazing with this!
Delicious, and very easy!
