SO HOW'D IT GO?
Fantastic recipe! Everyone I fed these to (including meat-eaters) LOVED them...defintley a new staple in our house.
these came out SOOOO good. these are definitely becoming a regular meal around here. my husband and my 15 month old loved them and its really hard to find a meal that they BOTH like. i only put half an onion since my 15 month old hates onions and i left out the cilantro because my husband hates cilantro. i added a slice of avocado in each enchilada. there was a lot of bean mix left over so i poured it on top. I'm eating the leftovers right now and they taste great, they just dried out some but still taste good.
I'm having to make a dish for my core(class), but I wanted one that tastes great so there's no more veggie bashing -than usual-. That said, I tested this out on my family ^.^ and it passed with flying colors! I can't wait to cook it for my core! (& prove the hick wrong). ^o^
Delicious. Thanks so much for the recipe.
I will most definitely be making this again...and again.
I think i'm addicted to the cheezey sauce in this recipie i've been keeping a tub of it in my fridge at all times ...using it for dip, casadeas(?) grilled cheeze, on crackers, nachos ...everything ...YUM!...i cant get enuogh :D
There was so much filling, we ate some with tortilla chips as nachos!
Love this cheese sauce, it tastes just like mexican white cheese!
I forgot to drain the beans, which was my fault, but next time I will drain them and add more enchilada sauce.
TRY THIS.
I was confused by the flour and nut yeast mix. I brought it to a boil and the flour kept clumping, and instead of creating a paste like I imagined it would, it just created a mess. What did I do wrong?
You have to stir it constantly while it's on the heat in order to keep it from clumping. That goes for just about any sauce that uses flour or corn starch as a thickener.
I too, used Soyrizo (sauteed first, and then put inside) as part of my filling and it really made the recipe for me!

As for the sauce and breaking of tortilla issues that everyone is having, here is the traditional Mexican way that prevents breakage (not that there's anything wrong with a casserole!): Heat up a 1/2 inch of olive oil in one pan and the enchilada sauce in another. Then, diip the tortilla in the hot oil for about ten seconds, and immediately following that dip it in the enchilada sauce. Have a plate ready on the side to put the tortilla. After you dip it in both the oil and the sauce, it is ready to be filled and rolled. If you do it right, it should easly roll over without breaking.
This was very tasty! I made it as a casserole like previous posters suggested. I was very impressed with the cheese sauce! I will definitely cut back on the bean mixture.....I had a ton leftover (I froze the leftovers). I topped it with corn kernels, sliced avocados and SourSupreme. Delicious!! My hubby was not a huge fan but I was happy with it.
This recipe was soooo good. My Husband is a great cook and he added a little of his own special touches to it to make it just right but we followed the basic recipe he just added his own kind beans and extra olives and cilantro to the top and we prefer to saute the onion before it goes in the dish. But the cheese was wonderful and the enitre dish came out just great. We are going to make much more of these in the future. Mahalo. ^-^
Passed the meat eating boyfriend test (he has ate it for dinner and lunch the last 3 days without complaint - it makes A LOT of food).
Modifications: made it into a casserole because i am lazy. Added corn and used only a quarter onion and left out the olives (because I don't like onion or olives) and a half a clove of garlic (because bf doesn't like garlic). Despite buying white beans I could not find them, but the filling did not suffer for it and there was still more than enough. Added more cilantro and a few shakes of cumin and cooked it in a lasagna pan so i wouldn't have to worry about it sticking. Was super good. I am sure I will be cooking it again!
