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).
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
- Brown ground beef, add seasonings after draining/rinsing
- 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.
- Repeat until out of ingredients
- Bake at 350 for 20-25 minutes, until cheese is melted
- Feast. Pillage. Conquer.

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
Fuck yeah, man! Thanks for the additional mods- I love giving people options.
