New Mexico Red Chile Enchilada Casserole

Nothing can rival the charm, ease, wow factor, and the umami-dense flavour of an enchilada casserole. When you mix red chile sauce, copious amounts of cheese, veggies and/or meat together with some corn tortillas—it’s gonna be a good time. Enchiladas are a core component of New Mexico’s culinary heritage and I’m excited to share this recipe with you!

Get Out

Full-on summer in Fernie, is there anything quite like it? I’m certainly not the first to observe that it’s hard to leave this place in summer. Recently I reconnected with an old friend who moved away some years ago and whom I hadn’t seen in a couple of years. We used to mountain bike together regularly, but he now admits he works way, way too much.
