I had lots of leftovers from this last night, so I decided to make enchiladas with it. I also had some low-carb tortillas in the fridge too, so thought this would be a good use for them.
I used this recipe for the enchilada sauce. I made that first. I added in two chipotle peppers in adobo sauce to spice it up.
I keep these in my freezer - open the can and then divide into baggies and use them as needed. A whole can of them wouldn't be needed at one time (I learned my lesson on that - by making a dip that was inedible and too hot to palette). This gave a nice smokey heat to the sauce. I used organic veggie stock for it and Mexican oregano. The sauce was pretty good once simmered down.
I sprayed 13" x 9" baking dish with "Pam" and filled the tortillas with the bean mixture.
It made 6 ginormous enchiladas! 😮
I still had beans left (some people at work will be getting them on Monday). I poured the sauce over.
I got my "absent sous chef" son to grate some Cracker Barrel Extra Old cheddar and some Old, so I'd have white and orange cheese. I put this over top.
I put into a preheated 350°F oven for 45 minutes.
I let them sit for 15 minutes.
I garnished with some sliced green onions and fresh cilantro and then served.
I plated myself ONE enchilada, but half the filling came out when I did that, so I just put it above, lol. Very yummy. Very easy dinner and it changed up the leftovers well. The cheese did make it really salty though...
Cooking is my hobby and I love it. It relieves my stress. I use recipes as a base line...I find a few and compare. Then I make my own personal concoction from what I've learned. This blog has become my personal cooking journal. It helps me remember what I've made/liked and didn't. But mostly, this is for my son. I hope he makes some of these dishes one day...One of the nicest things he's said to me is that he's never had a bad meal with me, at home or at a restaurant (research wins!).
