SOUTHWEST BLACK BEAN AND CORN ENCHILADAS

Steps:

• Heat oil in a pan until it shimmers.
• Add the onion and bell pepper and cook for about thirty seconds.
• Add the garlic, cumin and mexican oregano and cook until the onions and peppers are really soft.
• Add the salsa and black beans and cook until heated through.
• Using a potato masher, roughly mash the black beans so that some are broken and some are whole.
• Add the corn and cook until heated through.
• Stir in the sour cream.
• Spray a 9 X 13" casserole pan with cooking spray.
• Spread about a 1/2 cup of the enchilada sauce over the bottom of the casserole dish.
• Spoon the black bean mixture evenly in the center of the tortillas.
• Roll the tortillas up leaving the ends open, and place them seem down in the casserole dish. When I made this I got 6 pretty well stuffed tortillas and it almost totally filled my baking pan.
• Pour the rest of the enchilada sauce over the enchiladas, and use more or less to suit your liking.
• Cooking times vary. If you make this dish ahead of time and put it in the fridge and it cools down all the way I cover it with foil and put it in a 350 degree oven for 30 minutes, and then uncover it and sprinkle the cheese all over it and return it to the oven for another 15 minutes or until it's bubbling and heated through. If you make the bean mixture and stuff the tortillas immediately you won't have to bake it for as long, 10 minutes at 350 degrees uncovered and then sprinkle the cheese over and bake for another 10 minutes and that should do it. Since everything has already been cooked the key here is just getting it heated through.
• Serve topped with your favorite enchilada toppings.
• Enjoy!

SNAP CHALLENGE: CREAMY CHICKEN AND BLACK BEAN ENCHILADAS

Steps:

• Mince the garlic and sauté it in a large skillet with cooking oil over medium heat for one to two minutes, or until slightly softened. Add the can of diced tomatoes with green chiles and let simmer for about 5 minutes, or until the tomato liquid has reduced by about half and become slightly thick.
• Cut the cream cheese into chunks and stir it into the tomato mixture. The sauce will become smooth and creamy as the cheese melts in.
• Rinse and drain the can of black beans, then add them to the skillet along with the frozen corn kernels, shredded chicken, and cumin. Stir to combine. Taste the filling and add salt if needed.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Scoop about 1/3 to 1/2 cup of the creamy chicken mixture into each tortilla and roll it up like a cigar. Place the filled and rolled tortillas into a 9x13 inch casserole dish, seam side down.
• While the oven is preheating, make a batch of homemade red enchilada sauce (or use canned), then pour it over the enchiladas in the casserole dish (you may or may not use all the sauce, it's up to you). Bake the dish in the preheated oven for 40 minutes or until the sauce is bubbly and the edges of the tortillas are slightly brown and crispy.

• Peel and halve onion. Cut halves into ½" dice. Stem poblano pepper, seed, and cut into ½" dice. Stem, seed, and mince jalapeño. Be sure to wash hands, utensils, and cutting board after working with jalapeño. Trim radish, halve, and slice into thin half-moons. Drain and rinse black beans.

Add onion, poblano pepper (to taste), and half the jalapeño (to taste) (reserve remaining for garnish) to hot pan and stir occasionally, 2-3 minutes. Add corn, black beans, and seasoning blend and stir occasionally, 3-5 minutes. Remove from burner and cool 3-5 minutes.
• Spray a large casserole dish with non-stick spray. Pour 1/2 cup enchilada sauce (reserve remaining for topping enchiladas) into prepared casserole dish, coating the bottom. (Use a dish large enough to fit all of the rolled tortillas in a single layer without a lot of empty space) Place one tortilla on a clean work surface. Add ⅓ cup filling to tortilla, tightly roll up, and place in casserole dish, seam-side down. Repeat for remaining tortillas. Don't overfill tortillas. Make sure ends overlap and have a chance to seal while baking.
• Place leftover filling around enchiladas or serve on the side. Pour remaining enchilada sauce over enchiladas and top with cheese.
• Spray a piece of foil with cooking spray and place over casserole dish, sprayed side down. Tightly seal foil and bake 15 minutes. Remove foil and bake until cheese is bubbly, 7-9 minutes.
