There are several versions of skillet enchiladas on this site, which means to me that it is a versatile dish. This version ended up a bit soupy but it tasted good. I used frozen butternut squash for the vegetarian version, which worked well.
0 HelpfulTotal comfort food taste but easy weeknight prep time. Loved it as is but could easily sub in ground beef or other veggies depending on what we have.
0 HelpfulI like how easy this is. I think I’m going to use zucchini instead of butternut squash next time and add some spices for more flavor.
0 Helpfulused corn instead of flour tortillas. Easy prep. Made 10 servings and my two teenage boys ate almost all of it in one sitting
