The other night, I made a goal to use up all the produce in the fridge that's about to go bad. Do you ever get to that point? It's difficult for me to find the motivation, but I'm trying to be creative! :)
So, being the fan of Mexican food that I am, my first thought was enchiladas! I knew I had black beans, bell peppers, mushrooms and tortillas..probably some corn or something too. I go into the kitchen. What? I have green enchilada sauce! Boom! It's on. I look in the fridge...two. sad. tortillas...okay, I won't let this get me down!
A Mexican bake! Here we go!
In an 8x8 pan:
1. Pour half a can of verde (or regular) enchilada sauce directly into the bottom of the pan.
2. Layer one tortilla on top of the sauce.
3. Season black beans with cumin, chile powder, garlic salt...whatever ya got...and spread on top.
4. Toss in mushrooms, bell peppers, corn, again, whatever ya got!
5. Place second tortilla on top and pour the remaining enchilada sauce on top.
6. Bake at 350 for 15 minutes.
7. Look around the kitchen for more to use up!
8. Take your bake out, cover with salsa, shredded cheese, chives, bake for 10 more minutes.
This will be surprisingly tasty and filling, and will use up stuff you need to use up! Please try it out with what you've got on hand and let me know how it works!
In the meantime, enjoy this pepper cutting technique I just learned (and used on this dish) which is fabulous: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=viaKd1V35-4
