Author: Lanie Fioretti

My name is Lanie Fioretti and although I am not a classically trained chef or a degreed nutritionist, I have been studying food and nutrition voraciously since the early seventies. After working in public health and private practice for 22 years, I retired my dental hygiene license. I have taught cooking classes at Whole Foods and Central Market, done product development for a bakery in east Texas, catered, and been a personal chef. I usually think of myself as an improvisational cook!

Whitefish Enchilada Casserole

Posted on November 8, 2019October 7, 2020 by Lanie Fioretti

I scored some nice trout fillets from Don’s last fishing trip.  Although most any good textured fish will work for this Whitefish Enchilada Casserole, trout makes it very delicious.  Make a simple salad or guacamole, and you’ve got dinner!  Don’t be discouraged by all the spices, you can just use something like a good taco…
