Just thinking about this Cheesy Enchilada Orzo is making my mouth water.

This is one of those recipes that will quickly, no, INSTANTLY become a favorite in your family like it did in ours.

I love a good & easy Mexican recipe that is loaded with fresh flavors like cilantro & lime, has a good crunch from the corn & fresh bell pepper, & is covered in cheesy enchilada sauce.

This recipe can be made in 30 minutes so that you can quickly make it & enjoy it with your family.

Plus it’s easy to clean up because the whole dish can be made in just one pot or pan.

And of course, I had to top it with a big dollop of sour cream, an extra squirt of lime, & lots of cilantro since those are some of my favorite ingredients!

This recipe serves 4-6 people, so since I made this in the middle of the day while Roger was at work I saved the leftovers & then baked it in glass bakeware the next day for dinner.

Roger loved it!

And I loved it just as much the first time as I did the second time!
