Healthy Enchilada Casserole

     If I lived in a world full of unicorns and fairy dust, I would eat Mexican every single day ... unfortunately neither of those scenarios fall into the "likely gunna happen" category.  However...with my new Healthy Enchilada Casserole, case #2 becomes a lot more likely than case #1!  ... just sayin' ... not that I have anything against unicorns and fairy dust...!  And the macros will make you happier than a basket full of kitties, each of the 12 hearty servings are only 295 calories, 19.8g net carbs, and 24.2g protein.  All this can only mean one thing, dreams really do come true!  Ole'
