This Skillet Enchilada Bake is a perfect weeknight meal that is quick and easy to make. Delicious 30 minute meal that is comfort food at its best.
I love this Skillet Enchilada Bake. It has instantly become my new favorite dish, that I can literally throw together and not only does it taste amazing, it is G-OR-GEOUS!
After I make my One Pot Pizza Pasta I became just slightly addicted to dishes that I can make in one pot or in the case a skillet. Less mess, less clean up and in this case, less is more.
While I love the swings of the beginning of the near year and the anticipation of my favorite season of the year quickly approaching. With our crazy schedules and the kids are in the full swing of sports, I love having comfort food like meals ready for my family. Especially if I can make them in 30 minutes or less.
I am kicking myself for not having become addicted to one-pot meals earlier in my kids’ life. Like I said, less mess = less stress and equaling one happy mom.
So if you love Mexican food or just flat out obsessed with enchiladas you need to try this recipe. I love it even more than enchiladas because the chopped up tortilla bits in the Skillet Enchilada Bake are so soft & ooey, gooey with cheese and sauce. Trust me this is a keeper, instant hit and will become a part of your regular menu rotation.
Enjoy! XOXO San
How do you make Skillet Enchilada Bake?
Preheat oven to low-broil.
Separate the tortillas into two piles, one pile or three and another of four. Chop each pile of tortillas into 1-inch squares. It doesnโt have to perfect or exact, just chop into squares, really any smaller size will work.
In a large oven-proof skillet or pot add oil, hamburger, and onion over medium-high heat. Crumble hamburger while it is cooking, continue to cook until meat is cooked all the way through 5-7 minutes.
Reduce heat to medium and add in corn, drained black beans, and enchilada sauce. Cover and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in 2 cups cheese and 4 tortillas. Cook while constantly stirring until cheese melts and tortillas softened, 3-5 minutes.
Remove from heat and top with the remaining 3 tortillas chopped and 2 cups of cheese. Place skillet in oven and broil until cheese has melted and golden brown, 3-5 minutes.
Remove from oven, top with freshly chopped cilantro, tomatoes and serve! Have additional toppings on the side like sour cream, salsa, and chopped avocados.

Oh wow, this look divine!! So many great flavours and love that it’s just made in one pan!
This is our kind of meal! Quick, easy, yummy!
Did u use flour or corn tortillas?
Sue – I used flour.
Made this for dinner. Can’t do black beans so substituted refried. Was a huge hit! Thanks for the recipe
Do you think ground turkey would work?
My family loves this recipeโeven my picky son. But I do notice that your ingredients list calls for 4oz can of green chiles, but your instructions never mention that ingredient and when to add. I usually do them with ge beans and corn, but figured Iโd mention it in case you wanted to update your post. Thanks for all the great recipes!!
Thank you so much for pointing it out, I’ve fixed it now! You were exactly right, the chiles do go in with the beans and corn. I’m glad you and your family love the recipe!
