First meal: simple peezy Vegetarian Black Bean Enchilada Casserole. Fast, simple, and delicious! Omit the cheese and you’ve got a vegan situation, but man do I love my cheese.

INGREDIENTS 24–28 corn tortillas 3 1/2 cups red enchilada sauce 1 tablespoon El Pato or your favourite Jalapeño sauce 1 red bell pepper, diced 1 inexperienced bell pepper diced 1 1/2 cups candy yellow corn kernels, cooked 2 15 oz can black beans, rinsed and drained 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese and monterey jack cheese blend Fresh cilantro, diced for garnish Green onion, thinly sliced for garnish INSTRUCTIONS Preheat oven to 375˚F. Grease a 9X13 casserole dish and set aside. Combine enchilada sauce and El Pato in a bowl till absolutely mixed. Lay 8 tortillas at the backside of the pan (overlapping is fine). Spread about 1 1/2 cup of the blended sauce onto the tortillas, absolutely coating them.

I make this dish at work but it’s simply no longer fairly the same. Why you ask? El Pato. That’s right. El Pato. This dish wants HEAT! And preschoolers might be iffy on that statement so I skip the El Pato addition. However, I’m a agency believer in spicy mexican meals simply due to the fact come on. Mild? Please. Now I recognise no longer everybody agrees, that is why I separate the sauce and the spice.

Adding the warmth in rather of shopping for a “medium” sauce permits you to manipulate the warmth within the dish. SO. If you’re no longer into spicy enchiladas, forgo any Jalapeño sauces, aka El Pato. But should you ARE, then really experience unfastened so as to feature even extra than I did. As is, the recipe has a reasonable quantity of warmth to it, but no longer sufficient to move WHEW desire a tumbler of water (ps drink milk or consume bread via the way, water makes it worse – simply sayin). So if fire stage warmth is your thing, move for it. Personally, I find it irresistible in between.
