I was in the mood for Mexican tonight, but Mexican in my house is a little tricky with a no-cheese Husband. So I made these lovely Salsa Verde Enchiladas.
No-Cheese Salsa Verde Enchiladas (for 6 enchiladas):
Ingredients:
- 1 can dark red kidney beans, drained and rinsed
- 2 ears of corn
- 1 cup portabella mushrooms, sliced thinly
- 1/3 cup Corn and Chile salsa (or regular salsa)
- Pepper and salt to taste
- 6 whole wheat tortillas
- 1 can Verde Salsa
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350.
- Remove raw corn from ears using a knife.
- Mix drained beans, corn, mushrooms, corn and chile salsa, pepper, and salt in a bowl.
- Grease a casserole dish.
- Lay out a tortilla on a plate, and then dish in a portion of the enchilada mix. Roll tortilla and place at one end of the casserole dish. Repeat five times.
- Pour salsa verde over the top.
- Bake for 30 minutes.
- Remove and eat!
I had one enchilada with roasted broccoli on the side for dinner.
And then I went back for another half. Yum!
Afternoon snack was sesame-encrusted cashew nuts.
And guess what I did tonight?
I took Maggie to the NoDa Dog Bar for her 6th Birthday with some friends (it was on August 15). I was very impressed that she was such a big, brave dog. She gets nervous in social situations, but she was great! It was essentially a very popular dog park with music and booze (I stuck to water).
To bed I go!
The enchiladas look great!! Do you use regular vegetable shortening to grease the casserole pan? I ask because my mama always uses lard to grease her pans. That’s what I get for being from the south!
