However, in order to avoid all unnecessary fillers in store brought enchilada sauce, I prefer to make my own. You can simply skip this step and use a jar or can of enchilada sauce to make it easy. However, a quick 5 min preparation and you have home made sauce. So worth a try. My 5 ingredients enchilada sauce includes 1 can of fire roasted tomatoes ( I like Muir Glen Organic) , smoked cayenne pepper, cumin coriander powder, 21 seasoning salute and Himalayan pink salt. Blend it all together and you have awesome enchilada sauce. Ingredients that you can trust and feel good about eating. You can adjust the spice level depending upon your tolerance.
Once you have all the ingredients, it’s very easy to put this casserole together. If you are looking to involve your kids in kitchen, it’s a perfect dish to make together. Kids will love dipping ,layering and topping up the casserole !

12 corn tortillas
Directions:
Preheat oven to 325°F. Pour some enchilada sauce on a oven safe casserole dish. Dip a tortilla in the sauce so it coats the sauce on both sides. Spread about spoonful each of spinach , corn and cheese on it. This is the base. Add more layers of tortillas similarly. Every layer after base, add spoonful of enchilada sauce too. Once all the tortillas are layered, top it off with leftover ingredients. Place the dish in the middle rack of the oven. Bake for 15-20 mins until cheese looks bubbly on the top. Take the dish out of oven and let it rest for 5 mins before cutting. Serve warm.
