Enchilada casserole

Would this recipe be good/ok for soft/purée diet? Minus the tortillas?

in my opinion, there is too much going on with this recipe for the soft/puree phase...I would save for use until I was about 2 months out...ground beef is something I wouldn't try on puree stage...same thing for olives and some other ingredients I see listed....for the puree stage, if you are craving Mexican food, I suggest refried Beans with some grated cheese melted on top...nothing wrong with the cream of chicken Soup and perhaps you could add a little bit of enchilada sauce for a Mexican taste...you are less than a couple of weeks out, so I would go slowly...I know it's difficult and seems like it will be forever until you can eat solid foods, but truly these early phases go by quickly

Oh yeah I totally missed the beef. Yeah I can't have that. I think I'll layer some Beans and cheese with some sauce or seasonings and top with some sour cream. If I can tolerate of course. Just saw this pin and thought it looked good!!!

An easy dish for a Mexican soft dish is just some ground turkey with taco seasoning put with a little refried Beans and a tad of cheese..

You can even have it in the purée stage if you out a quick blend on it.

I second what Laura said. In fact, I have a pound of ground turkey that I precooked as crumbles and somewhat generically seasoned in my freezer (it's pretty easy to swing it toward either Italian or Mexican by adding a few more seasonings). I weigh out about an ounce of the turkey and add it to refried Beans for my Mexican fix along with a little cheese, or I use it on top of ricotta bake to boost the Protein and add flavor.
