Enchilada's


Enchilada's

Enchilada’s are one of those things that most people (unlike me) have tried in some form or other it seems. So this here was our first, especially mine, attempt at them.

Having not much an idea how to make them, we browsed some recipes online until we found a simple enough one to follow. The recipe was roughly adapted from the one found here:

We made the sauce shown here exactly, but altered the filling. Though I’m sure it’s lovely with tofu, there’s nowhere nearby to by student priced tofu around here and that bus trip to buy some usually is reserved for recipes that really can’t be done without it or when we’re particularly in the mood for it.

For the filling instead we used:
-        1 Can of kidney beans
-        1 Can black eyed beans
-        1 onion and some spring onion
-        Garlic, to taste
-        2 Peppers (of varying colours)
-        2 tomatoes
-        1 average pack mushrooms
-        1 cup of sweet corn
-        1 jar salsa sauce.

We heated it all up on the pan together (in the usual kind of order, onions first, then peppers, mushrooms, beans, sweetcorn and followed by salsa sauce, garlic and tomatoes) before placing this into about 5 (though you could make it 6) large tortilla wraps. By large, I mean the ones the size of a plate if not bigger. You could supposedly make several smaller ones too.
These we put into an oven dish and covered with the sauce before cooking for about 25minutes.

It was extremely delicious and filling, though we’ve been told since that enchilada’s are not to be completely covered by the sauce (as we did it!) and perhaps should be more crispy. Next time I suppose! J
