Is it a casserole? We’re not sure, but we are sure that it tastes so good! We went with a meatless vegetarian version that has a chili pepper focus. However, this would work just as well with some chopped chicken or pulled pork. The beauty of a one-pot meal is that you can prepare each component of the meal and toss it into the pot, then cover and finish it off in the oven later in the day. It travels well, so you can also carry it over to your friend’s house for a nice visit. If you bring this, maybe they’ll treat you to a glass of wine or a beer! Brown the flour mixture. Heat a large pan to medium heat. Add oil and get it nice and warm. Add flour and chili powder. Reduce heat to low and stir constantly, about 5 minutes, until the mixture browns. Thicken it. Add in tomato paste, broth, cumin and garlic powder. Stir to incorporate. Allow the mixture to thicken up and become consistent, stirring often. Salt and pepper to taste, then set aside until ready to use. Make the enchilada casserole. Sauté the first few veggies. Heat a large oven-safe skillet or pan to medium heat. Add oil and heat. Add onions and peppers. Cook about 5 minutes to soften. Add garlic and stir. Cook 1 more minute. Assemble the casserole. Add corn, salt and pepper to taste, cumin and oregano. Stir. Add enchilada sauce, beans, sliced tortillas and half the cheddar cheese. Stir to incorporate. Top with the remaining cheese. Broil, then serve and enjoy. Set oven to broil. Set the skillet in the middle of the oven and broil for about 5 minutes, or until the cheese is nicely melted. You can also bake it at 350°F. Sprinkle with chopped cilantro and serve! Add some sour cream to help quell the heat if you need it. Boom! Done! Are you ready to dig in? Done in under 30 minutes. I love that.
