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”.

      The sauce was way too thick!! Green enchilada sauce is so good!! I’ll have to try that!

    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!

M🌸Y every flower lift your spirits!

I am sharing with you my Everblooming Hydrangea. This is a full sun hydrangea. I planted it last year and it did so crappy. I was shocked to see so many flowers on it. We have had a relatively cool Spring, so it’s been happy. Today it got hot out and I just went out to look at the hydrangea and it’s shriveling. So I need to capture this moment before it poops out this summer.

We are a fabulous group of friends sharing their love of flowers and elements of nature inside and outside our homes throughout the seasons!

Happy Wednesday! We are half way through the week. Happy Wednesday! We are half way through the week. I can’t believe that this weekend is Mothers Day. It just seems early this year. I am not sure what are plans are going to be this weekend?
🌷
I am sharing with you the @krumpetshomedecor deal of the week. It’s a set of two mango wood trays with a beautiful rope handle.
🌷
The bigger tray I used to make a tulip arrangement. It’s such a great size. The last photo is also how I used the tray on my bed. The smaller tray is perfect for holding my olive oils in my kitchen. These trays will fit in about  any space. I just love them.

Happy Tuesday! Boy allergy season has hit me hard. Happy Tuesday! Boy allergy season has hit me hard. I have been sneezing like crazy and then my nose runs. Ugh! I never have allergies. It must be all the crazy weather. We’ve had high winds since last Tuesday and temps in the 70’s. Tomorrow mid 90’s, then back to the 70’s. No wonders my allergies are acting up.
🌸
I’ve been adding a little decor to my patio area. I love adding pillows and blankets for pops of color and to give a cozy feel. One of my newest additions is my new Verdure Wooden Candle Lantern that I got from @icosiest_furniture. It adds a romantic ambience in the evening.
🌸
The lantern is made from Fir wood and has a beautiful jute handle. The lantern can be hung or placed on a table. The candle is battery operated and looks so beautiful flickering in the evening. Swipe the photo to see it.
🌸
I love the style of the lantern and it would also look fabulous styled indoors. I can see the lantern on a shelf, centerpiece or on a console table. 
🌸
For a closeup of the lantern, check out my highlight. COSIEST was kind enough to give my followers a 15% off anything in there store: Jennifer15. The link is in my bio. 
🌸
Do you have allergies? If so, are they bad for you this year?

Happy Monday! Hope you had a nice weekend. We had Happy Monday! Hope you had a nice weekend. We had such beautiful weather. It was in the 70’s and sunny. I did a lot of work outside. Got some plants planted and rearranged my patio because I was #gifted a new dining set from @alphamartsus 
🌷
I am so excited to have an outdoor dining set. It’s going to be so fun to eat dinner outside, in front of my zinnia garden and water fountain. I’m so excited, you have no idea. 
🌷
The dining set is the PHI VILLA Rattan Dining Chairs Set with Extendable Table Patio Dining Set. The set I have is the 9 piece, but they also have a 7 piece set. You have your choice of chairs, cushioned or high back. I like the high back. The chair gives great support and is so comfortable to sit on.
🌷
The table is made of high quality metal with a special powder coating that will with stand the outside elements. The table is 60” long but can be extended to 83”. It’s so easy to extend the table. The leaf is built in and just flips to make the table longer or shorter. Swipe to see the leaf and how long the table is extended. The first few pictures, the table is extended to 60”. 
🌷
For more information on the dining set, check out my highlight. The link for Alpha Mart is in my bio.
🌷
Do you like to entertain outside?

Happy Earth Day! I would share my garden today, bu Happy Earth Day! I would share my garden today, but the weather has been awful this week. We’ve had heavy rains, high winds and it was a chilly week. They even had tornado warnings north of us. So crazy.
💙
This week I took advantage of the crappy weather and gave my kitchen a good cleaning. I wiped down all the cabinets, washed the floor and cleared my counter of clutter. Now only if it would stay this clean.
💙
You can swipe and see what our kitchen looked like before. It was so small, now it’s the biggest room. I’m so happy with how it turned out. We did it all ourselves, accept installing the countertops.

What are your plans for the weekend?
