Kind of a deconstructed enchilada. Would make great nachos. Harissa works if you’re out of tomato paste :-)

This was amazing! We loved it, and perfect for meal prep!

Yummy! Nice and light garden fresh take on an easy Mexican skillet style dinner.

Because my location and situation often means I can't always find ingredients, I use recipes as ideas more than actually following them. In this case, no rotisserie chicken , no black beans, no cheese. What I did was cook rice in my rice pot, and put onions, corn, boneless chicken thighs, flavored with garlic powder, oregano, and cumin, topped with a can of Rotel tomatoes and jalapenos, into my slow cooker. At dinner time I fried rice with salt and pepper, stirred in tomato paste, then shredded the chicken and strained the ingredients in the slow cooker and stirred it all with the rice. Then topped it all with a layer of refried beans and spread on some salsa con queso.  The house smelled great, and oh, so delicious!!

I made this and didn't like the texture or even the taste really, my mom liked it though so perhaps it's a personal preference. I thought it was dry but I did not add chicken.

Great one pan meal. Easy to make, very tasty. First bites clearly cauliflower but with the spices and other ingridients, flavor really grows on you. Plus no food coma after a couple servings.

I lowered the carbs a bit by omitting the corn & half the cauliflower; I used canned crushed tomatoes & Hatch chili enchilada sauce with sharp cheddar, then simmered it about an hour to reduce the liquid.  Topped it with chilis, avocado & sour cream - pretty good.  It didn't resemble the pics here at all, and I had to use a wok instead of a skillet due to the volume.

This recipe is really good. 2nd time I made this, I added 2 cups of grated cauliflower and 2 cups of grated broccoli for added vegetable and it also worked out great.
