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!

Hey, hey, hey happy Tuesday! The days are getting Hey, hey, hey happy Tuesday! The days are getting longer and Spring will be here before we know it. #sponsored I can’t wait! Spring is my favorite season!
🌸
I’m sharing with you my new Yuri 4 piece patio set that I got from RST Brands. I love the clean lines and it’s made with certified eucalyptus wood. Plus it is so comfortable to sit on.
🌸
The beautiful light blue cushions are covered in a durable olefin fabric that is weather resistant. Plus the cushions have zippers, so you can wash the cushion covers. That’s a big plus, considering Sampson loves to sit on furniture.
🌸
I can’t wait to decorate my Yuri 4 piece seating set with throws, pillows and of course plants. When the weather warms up, I’ll take you along with me when I decorate.
🌸
Are you looking forward to Spring?

Happy Monday! As usual the weekend flew by, but I’m happy that I got some things done. I’m really trying to do some purge and organize. Slowly moving at it, one day at a time.
💕
I’m sharing with you my Valentines Day tiered tray. If you notice, I finally got a new tiered tray.  Woohoo, the tiered tray is from @paperadpallet. I’m so happy to ditch my old white one. It was so crooked that I had to put a towel under to make it straight. I now finally have a straight tiered tray.
💕
I’ve been good and I still haven’t gone shopping, but after putting this tray together, I realize I don’t own any wooden hearts. I really would like some white and pink ones. I could do a diy, I don’t think that’s considered buying home decor?
💕
How was your weekend?

Hello Thursday! Hope your week is going well. So f Hello Thursday! Hope your week is going well. So far so good over here. I’ve been doing well not shopping. I had to have Target deliver groceries yesterday because I was afraid to go in that store. I have no control. 23 more days to go for my 30 day no buying home decor challenge.
🌿
I’m slowly working on refreshing my home after Christmas. I worked on this vignette in my living room. It’s really hard shopping my home. I grabbed stuff in just about every room to make this vignette.
🌿
I’m sticking with the whites and greens and added the blue vase to go with my pillow in the background. I added another faux fern, I didn’t realize how many I have floating around.
🌿
The pot the fern is in was a pot that my spider plant was in that I got from Trader Joe’s. I told you I really shopped around my home. But it’s kind of fun using things I already have.
🌿
Do you like shopping your own home?

Hello Wednesday! Half way through the first week b Hello Wednesday! Half way through the first week back, we can do it. I need to pump myself up. 😂 All in all it’s not to bad of a work week.
🌿
Last week I worked on changing my console table around. I wanted to keep it light and simple and of course add my greenery.
🌿
I just love adding pops of greenery, real or faux everywhere. Plants truly make me happy. The faux fern you see here is from Target. It’s part of the Studio McGee collection. I can’t get over how real it looks.
🌿
For ferns, I always have to get faux. I don’t have very good luck with real ones. It’s just to dry here. I have to water them everyday and if you miss a day, they die. So faux it will be.
🌿
What’s your favorite plant?

Hello and happy Tuesday! Not too much going on ove Hello and happy Tuesday! Not too much going on over here. Just trying to get back into the swing of things. I was so tired after work yesterday.
🌸
I’m slowly decorating my home for this season, though winter is hard for me. After Christmas, I love pastels and flowers. I think the winter season is a little more difficult to decorate because we don’t get snow. It’s hard to have flocked trees and sunshine.
🌸
I’m sharing with you my centerpiece on my dining room table. I just love it so much!  It’s kind of cozy and warm. Plus it has flowers! I’m still working on decorating the rest of the dining room. I hope to complete it by the weekend so I can share it with you.
🌸
How’s the weather where you live?

Monday again? Ugh! Back to work today. I have enjo Monday again? Ugh! Back to work today. I have enjoyed my two weeks off and boy it is going to be hard getting back in the swing of things. At least I can roll out of my bed and go straight to my computer.
💕
Notice something different in my bedroom? I have a new sign above my bed. It took two years and a lot of begging to get my husband to hang something above my bed. It did cost me a trip to Olive Garden. lol
💕
My new farmhouse sign is from @krumpetshomedecor. I love just it, and thought it was perfect for the bedroom. I find the words so beautiful. Swipe to see a close up.
💕
The sign is slightly white wash and the word “love” is raised lettering. Plus the sign is two sided. I’ll show you the other side in stories today.
💕
Today Krumpets Home Decor is launching there new Valentines decor and let me tell you it is gorgeous!! I saw some fun pieces for a tiered tray and more signs. So much to choose from.

Happy Sunday! Not to much going on here. I finally Happy Sunday! Not to much going on here. I finally packed up my Christmas and slowly redecorating my house for winter/spring.
🌿
For some reason, when Christmas is over I feel the need to start to decorate for Spring. I just love the light, bright feeling.
🌿
My first post of the New Year has to be flowers. I’m sharing this pretty bouquet that I bought from Trader Joe’s.
🌿
Trader Joe’s has tulips already, which means peonies will be soon to follow. I can’t wait for flower season to come full bloom.
🌿
Are you going to be decorating for Valentine’s Day?

Happy New Years Eve! I can’t believe it’s the Happy New Years Eve! I can’t believe it’s the last day of the year and what a year it’s been. Though I’ve had some wonderful blessings this year.
🥂
I’m sharing with you my top 9 photos of 2020. Thank you so much for all your wonderful comments, likes and saves. I’ve had so much fun on IG this year. I’ve made so many new friends, I’ve been inspired by you and I feel like I have grown so much just by being here with you.
🥂
You don’t even know how much I appreciate each and everyone of you. You are truly inspiring.  I am looking so forward to seeing what is in store in 2021.
🥂
If you followed my stories yesterday, I am doing a 30 day challenge starting on January 1st. The challenge is not being able to buy any home decor. So if you are joining me, shop today. It’s the last day to shop.
🥂
I plan on shopping my home, and being creative with what I have. When lockdown started, I saved so much money, not being able to leave my home. I was so proud of myself. Plus, I can save some money for spring and Easter decor.
🥂
Let me know if you are joining me? I need a support system. Target did me in this week, and I must stay away.  Once I get the shopping bug, I can’t stop.
🥂
I’m taking the next couple of days off from IG to get my house organized. I will be on stories to show my progress. Happy New Years! Cheers to a wonderful 2021.
