Oh, easy skillet bake dinners, you make my life. This quinoa enchilada skillet is particularly foolproof with its canned ingredients, easy diced veggies, and filling quinoa. Plus, it’s cheesy. As cheesy as you want it to be, oh yes.
This is one of those dishes that’s awesome for Meatless Mondays, if you’re into that kind of thing, since it’s lacto-ovo vegetarian. Omit the cheese and it’s vegan.
You can add in some meat if you like, too. It would be rad with shredded chicken or pork. Or beef. Or sofritas. Whatever you want, man! Just enjoy it’s Mexican-inspired deliciousness your way. It’s hard to mess up.
