Notes

If I'm in a hurry I often just use a can of red enchilada sauce and box of cornbread mix.

When using a box of cornbread - prepare according to instructions than add the cream corn.

I actually usually just go ahead and use the entire can of cream corn.

I also often add a can of black beans to the filling mixture to add more protein.
