Such a pleasure partnering with Frigidaire Gallery® to bring you new recipes that the whole family will enjoy and saves you time in the kitchen. I prepared a simple freezer meal with only a few ingredients that you can put together in no time. I like to have freezer dinners on hand in case a friend is in need or when I run out of time during my busy week. So nice to pull something out that you’ve prepared ahead of time.

How To Prepare Chicken Enchiladas

To start, spoon some enchilada sauce to cover the bottom of your disposable baking dish.

Warm your tortillas so they don’t break when you roll them and place into dish.

Layer each tortilla with some shredded cheese, chicken and black beans. Be sure to not overfill the tortillas, makes rolling and transferring to dish difficult.

Transfer rolled enchiladas seam side down into dish, keeping as tight as possible.

Where Can I Find Disposable Pans Like This?

Find these 9×13 inch disposable baking pans in the baking section of your grocery store. If not there, check where the tin foil and ziplock baggies are sold. These are so great to have on hand for freezer meals and storing leftovers in. They come in a variety of sizes

Place your baking pan so the label is visible and easy to see. Love how nice and bright the LED lights are in this freezer. Makes it so convenient.

Loving the adjustable door bins and shelves you can organize to your liking for the different items you might have in your freezer. When you are ready to serve the enchiladas, thaw to room temperature and bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes, until hot.
