Enchiladas Serving Suggestion – Serves 4

DSC_0180

You could certainly eat the casserole alone, or if you wanted to be that little bit naughty using your healthy extras, why not try making enchiladas?
Just grab a large roasting tin, fill up 4 tortillas (HE only) with the casserole and 2 sausages in each, close the wraps by folding over two of the edges and spoon any leftovers on top.  Finish by topping with a sprinkling of lower fat grated cheese (HE) and bake on gas mark 4 for 30-40 minutes.  These were incredible!
How would you eat yours?
