Easy Enchilada Casserole might be just the Mexican recipe you are searching for. This recipe serves 15. One portion of this dish contains roughly 17g of protein, 13g of fat, and a total of 271 calories. If you have beans, onion, ground cumin, and a few other ingredients on hand, you can make it. To use up the ground cumin you could follow this main course with the Moroccan Chocolate Mousse as a dessert. It can be enjoyed any time, but it is especially good for Autumn. It works best as a main course, and is done in approximately 15 minutes. It is a good option if you're following a gluten free diet.

Recommended wine: Pinot Noir, Riesling, Sparkling Rose

Pinot Noir, Riesling, and Sparkling rosé are my top picks for Mexican. Acidic white wines like riesling or low-tannin reds like pinot noir can work well with Mexican dishes. Sparkling rosé is a safe pairing too. The Archery Summit Willamette Valley Pinot Noir with a 4.9 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 40 dollars per bottle.
