SALSA VERDE ENCHILADAS

I was asked to bring in a meal to someone this week and found out that she had to have a gluten-free diet. I’ll admit that I could be more aware of gluten-free foods but since I don’t have any issues with it I’ve turned a blind eye.

I immediately started researching everything I could on all things gluten-free and came up with an entire gluten-free meal including dessert (coming soon) to serve her. Needless to say, I’m much more sensitive to those of you who have to eat gluten-free now. Not that I won’t still be sharing gluten filled recipes but I’ll try to include more that aren’t! This casserole couldn’t be any easier.

DON’T HAVE SALSA VERDE?

Just use regular salsa. Salsa verde is great here but use what you have.
