Taco Enchilada Bake

2. Taco Enchilada Bake

This enchilada casserole is an easy weeknight dinner that comes together with simple pantry ingredients but still feels so comforting. Layers of seasoned ground beef, black beans, corn, enchilada sauce, tortillas, and melty cheese bake together into a dinner that’s so flavorful and perfect for feeding the whole family! I love that it uses minimal prep and can easily be customized with your favorite toppings or spice level. Serve it with sour cream, avocado, cilantro, or whatever you have on hand for an easy dinner everyone will want again.

Shawarma Chicken and Sweet Potatoes

3. Shawarma Chicken and Sweet Potatoes

This dinner idea is basically 2 ingredients plus whatever toppings you love. You might’ve noticed I’m obsessed with the shawarma chicken from Trader Joe’s lately because it makes weeknight dinners so much easier. It’s one of those freezer staples that comes in handy when you want something quick, easy, and still really good.

4. Creamy Tortellini Spinach and Artichoke bake

I love love love a tortellini bake! Especially when they are this easy to throw together. Add additional spices if you’d like but both the broth and the dip brings a lot of flavor!
