Lean Bulk Recipe Time: Enchilada Casserole

Lean Bulk Recipe Time: Enchilada Casserole

My current star client, whom I mentioned in my last article, is currently in an isocaloric lean bulk in which he’s eating 40% protein, 30% carbs, and 30% fat, and whipped up this badass recipe as a part of it. And as he, like me, is no photographer, here the above is a pic of another enchilada casserole (Source). I have never eaten an enchilada in my life, though I think I might give it a try after reading this, though without the cheese because cheese is not my bag, baby (holy shit that is an ancient reference, but some times you’ve gotta make an Austin Powers callback).

In for a penny, in for a pound, I always say.

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs 80% ground beef drained/rinsed
  • 2 tbsp chili powder
  • 2 tsp cumin
  • 2 heaping tbsp minced garlic
  • Salt/pepper to taste
  • 8oz sharp cheese
  • 5 burrito/10” tortillas
  • 1 can mild enchilada sauce
  • 1 can traditional retried beans

Directions

  1. Brown ground beef, add seasonings after draining/rinsing
  2. Mix in the refried beans In a greased 9×13, layer tortillas, meat, cheese, enchilada sauce, and if you so desire, hot sauce of choice.
  3. Repeat until out of ingredients
  4. Bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes, until cheese is melted
  5. Feast. Pillage. Conquer.

Nutrition

Per serving(1/6 of a 9×13 pan):

  • 556 Calories
  • 27g Fat
  • 37g Carbs
  • 48g Protein

I am a former all-time, all federation world record holder in raw powerlifting at 181lbs, a record I broke just to say fuck you to the internet’s “lifting” community and the powerlifting community at large. Over the last ten years I’ve written over 500 articles on strength training, nutrition, and supplementation, and continue to do so simply to fight the tide of weakness and sadness that currently pervades the scene I’ve called home for the better part of three decades. I’ve got personal trainin certs, BodyPump and BodyCombat certs, a BA in History and East Asian Studies from the University of Arizona, and MBAs from the Vienna University and University of South Carolina on my side, in addition to some sick lifts and a hell of a lot of rage. What the fuck have you got?

    I do a similar thing but with those carb counter tortillas and I use a mix of fat free cheddar and a mexican cheese blend. Also chop up onions/bell peppers and cook them with leaner beef. Total comes to around 440 cals/43g protein, not too far from what you’ve got and I imagine most of the difference is the carbs from the tortillas (I’m cutting). Good shit
