Let’s dig in.

If it’s a casserole dish and making a big batch , there has to be leftovers . And I personally like to have some left so that my next day lunch is sorted.

With the beginning of school season ,mornings are crazy hectic here. Making breakfast and lunch together early morning gets overwhelming most of the times. This is when I love to have leftovers.

My husband takes home made lunches to office and it saves us $$$ every month .  Even if I am not around , all he has to to is grab a Reynolds™ Disposable Heat & Eat container and fill it with leftovers the next morning .Microwave it up for lunch and toss it when done.

We don’t have to worry about heating food in plastic containers. Believe me even after a lot of washing the odor and still lingers and the spices just stain the plastic containers. Reynolds™ Disposable Heat & Eat containers fits perfect here especially with food involving oil & spices. And very important- no more forgotten or lost precious containers.

    Hi Khushboo. I simply love your recipes. They’re versatile and at the same time filling, delicious and hearty. I had a couple of doubts.
    1) I live in India, so can you tell me what’s Mexican cheese blend or what’s a substitute for it?
    2) My OTG gave up before the lockdown began. Can I make these in kadhai? If so, can you please tell me how?
    Looking forward to your response.

      Hello Saloni, thank you! I have never made enchiladas in a kadai, but bake as you bake a cake. Pre heat the kadai, Salt at the bottom, a stand and place the baking dish on top. Bake covered on low heat on the stove top for 20-25 minutes.

    Our family loved these. My kids and husband could not get enough. I used blendtec enchilada sauce recipe, a little bit of cheddar cheese and a little bit of mozzarella cheese, and didn’t have any cilantro or Mex cheese. It was delicious. Thanks so much for sharing your recipe.

    I will definitely be making this again on a regular basis.
