For anyone that knows me, knows that I am not a big fan of spicy foods. My family laughs at me because I think that black pepper is spicy. Lately, I have been preparing and serving my family a lot of meals that include chicken because, for health reasons, I avoid beef. Since my husband is not too keen on chicken, I decided to treat him and the rest of the family with my Spicy Stacked Enchilada Verde Casserole. 

Since I knew that I was not going to eat the Spicy Stacked Enchilada Verde Casserole I made sure to make it extra spicy.

My family loved this Spicy Stacked Enchilada Verde Casserole. They said that the flavors burst in their mouths and that the amount of spice that I added was perfect. If you love food with spice, you may consider looking at:
