One of my favorite ways to use leftovers is to create something completely new and different from what the original dish was. It keeps dinner from being boring, and uses up all the food. Win-win.

Have you tried the enchilada soup yet? Last time I made it, there wasn’t enough for a full “leftover meal”, but there was enough left to create this amazing enchilada casserole. 

Do I need to use an Instant Pot for this?

No. If you have a dish big enough for the Instant pot, placed on a trivet, you can make it in there. However, you can also make this casserole in larger dish, and bake it in the oven. The recipe amounts are for a small casserole dish that fits in the 9 in 1 size Instant Pot. Feel free to double, or triple for a 9×13 pan in the oven.
