Here’s a one-pan enchilada dinner that’s an easy vegetarian dish and is ready, start-to-finish, in just 15 minutes. No rolling needed!
You can even shorten the preparation time by using fresh diced onions and green bell pepper available in the produce section of the market. Broken, toasted corn tortillas add a delightful crunch to the dish.
