Cheese and Black Bean Enchiladas

Watch me make this over on my YouTube channel Faith, Food and Family!

This is a great twist on enchiladas that is meatless/vegetarian. Perfect for Meatless Monday! These are so good and quick and easy to boot!

Cheese and Black Bean Enchiladas

Ingredients:
4 ounces of cream cheese, softened
3 cups of shredded cheese, divided into a 2 cup portion and a 1 cup portion (I recommend a mexican blend and/or queso quesadilla cheese, but use what you like)
4 ounce can of diced green chiles, drained of any liquid
1 can of black beans, rinsed and drained
12 corn tortillas
19 ounce can of enchilada sauce (I vary what I use, but mostly use red)

NOTE: Feel free to add any additional seasonings you would like. Cumin, chili pepper, mexican oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, etc. All would be delicious in this dish.

Directions:

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees. In a bowl, mix together the cream cheese, 2 cups of shredded cheese and the green chiles and set that to the side.

In a 9x13 baking dish, place a little of the enchilada sauce in the bottom so that your enchiladas won't stick. Maybe 2-3 tbsp of the sauce. Next, wrap your corn tortillas in a damp paper towel and microwave the entire bundle for about 30 seconds. Then start filling each totrilla with a bit of your cheese mixture and some black beans. Make sure to not overfill them or you may not be able to close them. Roll each filled tortilla up and place them in your baking dish. You will have to place some on the sides.

Once your enchiladas are in your pan, cover them with the remaining enchilada sauce. I always like to make sure that sauce coats any tortilla spots that I see. Cover your pan with foil and bake for 30 minutes. Then remove the foil and top with the reamaining cup of cheese and bake until the cheese is melted.

Serving suggestions: I recommend making my mexican rice. I also like serving it with lettuce, tomato and avocado (or quacamole). This time I made a lime crema to drizzle on top and it was delcious. You just need to mix some fresh lime juice in with some sour cream. So good!

Hope you enjoy this recipe!

Smoked Gouda Stuffed Meatloaf

Do you buy ground beef or have your meat gound up fresh? I love to have ours ground up fresh. It's the only way I buy it. I usually use sirloin tip or london broil, and have used a couple of other cuts before too. I just watch for it to go on sale. Sirloin tip was on sale this time and I decided to make meatloaf again. I wanted something different for this one, so I thought why not stuff it with smoked gouda cheese! This was really good. Hope you enjoy it as much as we did! Smoked Gouda Stuffed Meatloaf 2 tablespoons butter 2 onions, diced 5 cloves of garlic, minced ½ cup of ketchup (I used just a tad less than ½ cup) ¾ cup of breadcrumbs 1 teaspoon of thyme 2 eggs 2 pounds of ground beef 1/3 pound of smoked gouda, cut into sticks (like cheese sticks only smaller) Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. In a sauté pan over medium heat, melt butter and then add the diced onion. Sauté until translucent. Add the minced garlic, allowing it to cook for a minute or two. ...
