Black Bean Enchiladas

July 10, 2012 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 16 Comments

Hello Peeps,

Today is another Skinny Bitch Tuesday and today’s recipe is Spicy Black Bean Enchilada picked out by yours truly.

This is the first time I made Black Bean Enchiladas and I was so excited for this recipe.  It was pretty simple to make and not that many ingredients.  However I wasn’t overly impressed with it.  I pretty much followed the recipe exact.  The only thing I did was omit the Chipotle Peppers since I didn’t have any and I also knew if I put them in this dish my family wouldn’t eat it.  They don’t like spicy as much as I do.


The reason I didn’t overly care for this recipe is I thought it seemed dry.  There wasn’t enough juice in the enchilada.  Plus I think the cooking time of 40 – 45 minutes was too long.  I actually cooked mine for 35 minutes and that still seemed to long, I’m thinking more like 25 – 30 minutes.  The recipe also called for 12 tortillas, I only got 9 out of this batch.  There wasn’t enough ingredients to make 12.  Definitely need to make more filling for the next time.

To give additional flavor I decided to add a simple salsa which is tomatoes, onions, lime juice, cumin and salt and pepper. That added a nice touch!  Plus I topped it with some Greek yogurt.  Since I made this at 8:30 in the morning, I didn’t add all my bells and whistles to this dish, meaning when I have this for dinner I’m also going to add some jalapeno, hot sauce and guacamole to it.  I didn’t want to do that now, since I didn’t want my guacamole to turn brown and the enchiladas to get soggy, however I don’t see that happening.  I don’t know if my family is going to like this, but we shall see at dinner tonight.

Now that I learned how to make Black Bean Enchiladas, I can change it up the next time I make it.  I think this would have been wonderful with some corn and mashed up sweet potatoes and even canned tomatoes, undrained in it.  The flavor isn’t to bad, but I’ll be sure to add a little of the chipotle pepper to it for a kick of heat.

It’s time for me to scadoodle!  I have to get my hair done and run some errands.

Have a wonderful Tuesday!

Toodles,

Jen

P.S.  Sorry if the pictures all look the same, oddly enough there not.  I just couldn’t make as pretty as I want to, since I wasn’t ready to eat this yet!  🙂

UPDATE:  My Husband and I had this for dinner and he thought it was dry, so did I, so he added a little bit of Trader Joe’s Mexican Sauce and he said this was the best Bean Enchiladas he has ever had.  The flavor of these enchiladas is very tasty!!  I’ll make these again, but add tomato sauce in them to make them more moist!  Try it and let me know what you would do different.

    Hmm I think the problem is that you need a sauce to cover all the enchiladas in, not just cheese! Otherwise the tortillas will dry out. It still seems like it’s packed with flavor though!

      They said to use the bean sauce, but that stuff was so thick, it needed tomato sauce for sure!!

    I can see how some mashed sweet potato and tomato sauce would make these even better! Enchiladas are such a great recipe to adapt to your tastes.

    Yeah I can see why you didn’t like it! It was definitely dry. I added some extra sauce (like tomato sauce) and olive oil to thin it out. Great photos though!

      Adding the extra sauce was a great idea! Wish I had more time to tweak it, but next time I will!

    Looks like we all thought they were too dry. I think the cooking time might be too long too, but that sauce definitely needs some thinning!

    Hmm, looks like the sauce was too thick. Maybe add canned tomatoes with the juice and/or leave out the beans. I’m a fan of “green” enchilada sauce and probably would have tossed some tomatillos in the food processor with cilantro and lime juice and used that instead or in addition to the red sauce aka “Christmas style”.

    At least you all had the same problem. Next time around you can be a bit more proactive with tweaking it, although if it was the best your husband has ever had 🙂

      I was shocked by my Husband. He loved the flavor and he liked how thick it was, but he did add his own sauce to it! I will make this again and tweak it to make it better!

Happy Monday! I’m sharing with you a rare view o Happy Monday! I’m sharing with you a rare view of my kitchen. What’s so rare about it! It’s clean. 🤣 
.
So this weekend our refrigerator broke. The freezer no longer works and the fridge is not getting cool enough. Ugh!! We bought our Whirlpool refrigerator about 4 years ago and spent near $3000 for it. It sure didn’t last long. 
.
After reading reviews on a million refrigerators, they all seem like crap. I need your help! Do you have a refrigerator that you recommend? 
.
I saw a Frigidaire one that we are debating on, but not sure? The reviews are good, but says, they were collected from a promotion. So I’m not sure how much I trust that? Anyway, any recommendations that you have would be great! 
.
Have a great day!

I have been decorating the house for Easter and Spring. I love how this little space turned out. I am loving the bright pastels. I added my new bunny/chick pillow that I got from @12timbers. It matches so perfectly and it’s so cute. I also couldn’t resist the chick pillow from Target.

Hi Everyone! I hope you had a great weekend. I mus Hi Everyone! I hope you had a great weekend. I must say I was disappointed in the Super Bowl. I really wanted the 49ers to win. Anyway, this weekend I refreshed my guest bathroom.
🐰
I have to say my new favorite item is the towel holder. It’s so cute and practical. I don’t have a hand towel rack and I hated leaving my towels on my counter. I saw the towel holder from Target and had to get it. It’s the Hearth and Hand brand.
🐰
I added some bunnies for Spring and a touch of pink for some color. The hand towels are from Homegoods. They have so many bunnies and Easter decor. I had to control myself because I was with my husband. I may go back. 
🐰
Have a great day!!

Happy Monday!! I have to confess to you. I still h Happy Monday!! I have to confess to you. I still have Christmas in my kitchen.😳 I don’t know where to put it, so I haven’t taken it down. It’s not a lot, but just enough to where I can’t fit it. Ugh!  Please tell me I’m not the only one. 
💕
I did do one little spot for Valentines, which I think is so cute. I love decorating with Valentines candy. I can’t resist the pinks and the conversation hearts. I do not plan on going all out decorating this season, as time is going so fast, but I may add some hearts here and there. 
💕
Do you decorate for Valentine’s Day?

Hi Everyone! With spring around the corner, now is Hi Everyone! With spring around the corner, now is the time to get your chores done, so when the warmer weather arrives you can enjoy it. My goal is to refresh my bedroom. I am slowly getting rid of stuff that I no longer need and slowly adding new decor. So hopefully in a few weeks it will be done. #twopageshome
♥️
The first thing I added are these stunning customized curtains that I was gifted from @twopagescurtains. Guys, I’m in love! The curtains are just so pretty! I am loving the way it shades the sun, but still lets the light in. Exactly the look I was going for.
♥️
The curtains I chose are the “Liz Linen Drape Soft”. They are a linen curtain that is environmentally friendly, hypoallergenic, long lasting, dust preventative, and breathable. They are also wrinkle free. I didn’t have to steam them. They came right out of the package ready to hang. They also come in 38 colors and 7 shadings to choose from. There is an option for everyone.
♥️
I’ll be honest I was intimidated on ordering custom curtains. I was so afraid I would order them wrong, but I didn’t. Two Pages has a measurement finder that asks you a few easy questions and boom you have your custom curtain size. It was so simple.
♥️
If you are looking for some new curtains or shades for your home, I highly recommend Two Page Curtains. I absolutely love them. They were kind enough to give my followers an 8% discount code: PBANDP. Link in bio
♥️
Are you planning on refreshing any spaces?

Happy Friday! Hope you had a wonderful holiday sea Happy Friday! Hope you had a wonderful holiday season. I am slowly working on taking my Christmas decor down. I still have my tree up, but I love the twinkling lights, and the real reason is I need my husband to get the box out of the garage. lol 
💙
I am going with blues in the living room. I just find blue calming and peaceful. The first area I styled is the coffee table. Sorry about the views. I have a small, thin living room.
💙
I decided to go light on the decor and add some fresh faux greenery. I hate leaving the remote controls out, so I decided to store them in a decorative box. Everything here, but the white box was bought at Target. 
💙
Have a wonderful weekend!

Hi Everyone! Hope you had a wonderful Christmas. I Hi Everyone! Hope you had a wonderful Christmas. It was low key for us, as it was just my husband and I. We had dinner at my daughters house on Christmas Eve. That was nice. 
🎄
I am sharing my last view of my living room before I take down my Christmas decor. I will leave some of the winter type greens, but I think I’m going to add some blues. I have always liked blue after the holidays. It just gives the room a light and clean look.
🎄
I want to say sorry for lack of posting. It’s just so time consuming engaging. I hate spending countless hours on my phone. It has made me physically lazy and it hurts my eyes. I have put on so much weight because all I do is sit. I really need to change this habit. Anyway! I hope you have a wonderful day!!!
