Today we decided to spice things up and try making enchiladas at home, and they were a big hit. As always we tried to keep them quick, simple by using some pre-prepared ingredients.
Serves: 4
Ingredients:
1) Corn Tortillas
2) 1 can Refried Black beans ( i used Amys)
3) Grated Cheese
4) 1 bell pepper
4) I medium onion
5) Enchilada sauce - Green tomatillo sauce ( i used Rick Bayliss Fronterra sauce)and Marinara sauce
6) for the garnish - sour cream, avocado slices and orange quarters
7) 1 tbsp olive oil
Method:
1) Wrap the tortillas in a kitchen napkin and microwave for 2 minutes. Keep covered.
2) Slice the onion and bell pepper and saute in olive oil till nicely browned.
3) Now add the black beans and saute till the beans are warmed.
4) Preheat oven to 325
5) Assemble the enchiladas - use a baking tray or a lined cookie sheet. On each tortilla put a tablespoon of cheese and a tablespoon of beans or change proportions as per preference :). Then roll and place with the seam side on the bottom of the tray. Liberally pour the enchilada sauce over the tortillas. ( We used 2 trays - and had the tomatillo sauce on one and marinara on the other. The marinara sauce was a last minute idea as i was suddenly not sure if my 5yo would like the other, so I decided to try a more familiar taste.)
6) Sprinkle some more cheese on top and place in the oven for 15 minutes,
7) Serve one red and one green enchilada, garnished with avocado slices, orange quarters and a generous dollop or sour cream.
This was a great quick warm meal, and of course all of us 5yo included liked the tomatillo sauce a LOT!
