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!

This is a view if my livingroom. I really like how I styled my console table. The bunny sign and egg tree are from my friends @12timbers. I’ll be sad when Easter is over.

Happy first day of Spring! Though you wouldn’t k Happy first day of Spring! Though you wouldn’t know it in California. We are still getting rain and it’s in the mid 50’s. We should be in the 70’s by now. I wonder what the summer temps will be like this year?
🌺
Even though it may not feel like Spring,  there is no reason why we can’t start prepping for it. It’s going to be time soon to plant flowers, add a floral wreath to the front door and of course a welcome mat to invite everyone to your home. 
🌺
I wanted to share with you my new welcome mat that I got from @cocomatsnmore. They just had their Spring release and oh my gosh so many cute ones. I love there welcome mats. They are thick, bright colors and fast shipping. I absolutely love the flowers and the saying “Live Life in Full Bloom”. It’s so very true.
🌺
What are you most looking forward to this Spring?

Happy Monday! I did a little bit of Spring cleanin Happy Monday! I did a little bit of Spring cleaning this weekend. I wanted to give my kitchen counters the less is more look.
🫧
I did have a very hard time taking my sink tray off the counter. I’ve had the tray there for years, so I thought I would change it up. Don’t be surprised if the sink tray makes its way back. 😂 I may add some herbs to my window sill for some fresh green color.

My husband and I are not fancy when it comes to eating dinner. Since it’s just the two of us, we never use the dining room table, but always eat at the kitchen counter.
🥕
There is no reason why we can’t eat fancy at the kitchen counter. I am using my new placemats that I got from @vmathome. They are thick, water, stain resistant and can handle heat up to 350F degrees. I love the color and style of the placemats. They have a wide variety of styles and colors, along with matching table runners.
🥕
I styled my table with bright spring colors that I was inspired by carrots. I still have bunnies on the brain. lol I had fun with this place setting, it’s so nice to have dinner with a little style then having it on a plain plate and paper napkins.
🥕
Have a wonderful weekend!!

So much fun to add anywhere in your home.

Happy March 1st! Everyday is a day closer to Sprin Happy March 1st! Everyday is a day closer to Spring. I looked back last year at this time and my garden was starting to flourish. Boy you should see it now. It’s a big muddy mess. With all the rain and high winds we sure have a huge mess to clean. I can’t wait until we get some warm days. 
🐰
I’m sharing with you one of my favorite vignettes that I created last year. I may have a slight obsession with bunnies. Every year I say no more buying bunnies, but then I end up with a few more in my collection. Lol

Have a beautiful day!
