Team No Dishes is back at it again! We love these soup and meal mixes from Santa Barbara Soups. The Quinoa Enchilada Casserole is definitely a show stopper of flavors. Beans, corn, sweet potatoes and quinoa in a rich enchilada flavored sauce make it a colorful, healthy and delicious choice. Add some chicken, steak, or your favorite protein to really make it shine. Serve this at your next dinner party. It's that good! (Serves 4-6)
