Oh goodness…
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!
