This recipe is adapted from a recent Blue Apron weeknight dinner that I loved but felt like it could just use a little bit more flavor elements and be a bit more cost-effective. When adapting this recipe, I realized that I could create a healthier “deconstructed queso nachos” format inspired by Qdoba’s Queso Nachos (my favorite fast food). Smoky seasoned sausage, roasted poblanos, tangy sauce, and ooey gooey cheese all topped with a sweet-spicy hot honey drizzle…this enchilada skillet brings a weeknight-friendly, healthy, simple meal that delivers on flavor.
