New Recipe

Last night I decided to try a recipe from wordofwisdomliving.com- but with my own twist on it.

It was so good. Vegetarian Enchiladas.

Sauce:

2 tblsp. Olive Oil

1 can of diced tomatos with green chilies (pureed)

1/8 cup corn starch

1 can of vegetable broth

1 clove garlic (crushed)

salt and white pepper

Enchiladas:

3 cups of Mexican blend cheese (pepper jack and cheddar) shredded

6 green onions finely chopped

Handful of cilantro leaves (optional- but I ADORE the stuff!)

1 can of corn

1 can of black beans (rinsed and drained)

1 carton of chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed)

corn tortillas.

In a medium saucepan heat olive oil and garlic- add salt and pepper and pureed tomato and chilies. whisk for 1 minute. Add cornstarch to a little cold water and whisk until it's smooth- add to sauce. Let simmer until thick. Set aside.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees

Combine 2 cups of cheese, spinach, beans, corn, onion and cilantro in a large bowl and mix well. Lightly oil a 9x13 pan- spoon some sauce on the bottom of pan. (I tried to roll the filling into the tortillas but they kept breaking- so I just did layers- like a lasagna.) Over with remaining cheese and bake for 20 minutes.

I topped mine with sliced olives and more green onion.

Husband was skeptical - but liked it. that's my seal of approval. :)
