Picture
Picture


Plate a vegetarian enchilada up...it's pretty yummy!!!

Picture




There's black beans and parsnips and carrots and sweet potatoes and fire roasted tomatoes...yum!

Picture


Here's the fixins for this delicious enchilada dish.

This recipe calls for assorted root vegetables, such as parsnip, turnip, rutabaga, sweet potato and/or carrot. I used sweet potato, carrot and parsnip.

Aaaand once again, this recipe is out of this Holiday Recipe magazine by Better Homes and Gardens.... because I don't have an original bone in my body but you know what???!! These recipes haven't been too bad so far...and I'm takin' the bullet and trying these out just in case you may want to try one or two of these recipes out around the holidays yourself.
Geez,


I have to do EVERYTHING around here!
I'm exhausted :)



Picture


Once again,
I  introduce you to ancho powder,
which I looked all over heaven and earth in the grocery for.

And eventually found it.

It's a nice smoky chili powder.

Picture
So let's start by throwing the
FIRE ROASTED...
GET THIS NOW...
FIRE ROASTED diced tomatoes in a pan. There's a huge taste difference between regular and fire-roasted.

Picture
Now pour in a cup of your favorite salsa. 

I usually use La Casa salsa. It's expensive but seems unadulterated for the most part.

I have no idea if I used the word "unadulterated" correctly up there by the way.

I leave proper English to my kids.

Picture




Now add the ancho and cocoa powder.

Picture




Bring to a boiling, reduce heat and simmer uncovered for 10 minutes.



Season with salt and pepper and set aside.



Now this recipe calls for the tortillas to be stacked and wrapped in aluminum foil and heated up in the oven for 10 minutes. I don't know why.
But I did and the heat actually makes the tortillas easier to roll.
Picture



Okay so the sauce will be a little chunky so take a masher and mash to the best of your ability.

Picture


Oh, I forgot to mention that the recipe calls for fire-roasted tomatoes with garlic. Because my can of tomatoes did not have garlic added, I just went ahead and chopped up some garlic and added it at this point.

Picture



Now start sauteing the onions...

Picture






Add the chopped root vegetables...in my case, the carrot, parsnip and sweet potato.

Picture






Saute until crisp-tender.

Picture




Now add HALF the tomato sauce to the root vegetables....

Picture


Add the rinsed and drained black beans.

Picture



Throw in 3/4 cup of the cheese and the cilantro.

Just LOOK how yummy this all looks in the pan.
And it smells awesome!!!



Picture


Now spray up your casserole dish.
Hold your vintage Glasbake dish out like this and take a picture cuz you want to show it off.



Picture


Now get the tortillas out of the aluminum foil cuz you're gonna scoop up some deliciousness and fill them up.

Picture



See, told ya.

Scoop up some of that deliciousness filling into the tortilla...


By the way, I am having a real problem with spelling today. I almost just published this post with the word "deliciousness" spelled *delishisness* TWICE. TWICE!  I even had to stop and think how to spell "deliciousness" and TWICE I decided it was *delishisness*.
Who is NOT dealing with a full deck today??!!
Delishisness...........really?



Picture
Arrange the tortillas in the casserole dish.
It took me forever to figure out why I took a picture of my finger pointing at the tortillas and I just now remembered. I was counting them and wanted to make sure I mention that these only made up 6 tortillas for me, not 8. One. Two. Three. Four. Seeee, I'm not a dork.





Picture
Okay,
so now scoop the remainder of the tomato mixture over the enchiladas.....




Picture

Spread the remainder of the cheese on top.

Niiiice hand Angie.

Whatev.



Picture



By now, I really think my brain wasn't functioning right cuz WHY would I take a picture of the casserole dish going into what clearly is an oven in need of cleaning.



However after baking for 20 minutes, these enchiladas came out juuuust about right!
Picture



Picture
The center was hot and the tops were warmly melted.

I actually did not over bake these!!
Yippee kie yay
!

I did throw some cilantro on top for a finish.

Picture


Don't ya just want to dig in???

Well, go ahead...plate one up.....





Picture
Picture
Okay, I want to say this about the tomato sauce...I make a homemade enchilada sauce that Tim loves. The sauce has several steps and many ingredients.
This sauce tasted almost the same!!
I really, really like that smoky ancho powder. And fire-roasted tomatoes make all the difference too.





Picture



The black beans compliment the sweetness of the sauteed root vegetables in these tortillas.

In fact, I like these so much I think I'm gonna make them again tonight.



Okay, so that's all I have for today.
I hope one person tries out this recipe. CRAP, almost forgot to post the recipe!
