Don’t let the length of this recipe scare you—this meets the needs of both those in a hurry and those who want to take their time. You can make these enchiladas quickly with storebought sauce and meat substitute, or make both at home. Either way, these enchiladas are worth it. Creamy, slightly spicy, and sky-high in flavor thanks to the bulgur “meat,” corn, and green chiles, they’re the perfect dish for any dinner table.

Can I prepare the corn and green chili casserole and then freeze it prior to first baking it?
