Turkey & Chorizo Enchilada Casserole | Real Housemoms

We (my family) are creatures of habits, especially when it comes to dining out.  We eat at the same restaurants and we order the same foods each time.  If we got out for pizza we always have sausage, pepperoni and banana peppers.  If we go out to our favorite burger place we order the same spicy burgers; the kids order the same grilled cheese sandwiches. If we go out for Mexican, my husband has enchiladas, I order a taco salad and the kids have tacos. The truth of the matter is, we are predictable.

Sometimes I actually want to stray from my boring old stand-by.  Often my husband’s enchiladas call out to me like sirens, but that darn cheese sauce and those refried beans continue to keep me at arm’s length.  This can only lead to one thing, creating my own enchilada recipe!  This enchilada casserole has all the flavors I love.  I used spicy chorizo sausage in this casserole.  I love using chorizo sausage.  I add it to burgers and eat it with eggs.  It’s a bit spicy, yet incredibly flavorful.  I also used black beans (pinto would work too) and cooked turkey.  This is a great way to use up leftovers!  Chicken would work in place of cooked turkey.  While there is a fair amount of cheese, the casserole isn’t drenched in a thick blanket of cheese like I find in some restaurants. This casserole makes an easy weeknight meal and is great family food.

We don’t order the same boring old Mexican anymore, now we stay home and eat the same enchilada casserole instead.  We are totally content!
