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!

Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is that I love Target. It’s my happy place. I get so excited each season to see all the new things that come out. 
🌿
One thing I always love is there faux vase/pot flowers and plants. They are always so pretty and I want to buy them all. But there a couple of things that stops me. The biggest one is that I have no storage for them. Two, they seemed to have gone up in price. They seemed a little pricy to me. 
🌿
For my arrangement, I used one of my canisters for the bathroom. I used floral foam to stick the stems in and I used the paper towel as a filler because I only had very little bit of moss. If I had more moss and I would probably not use the paper towel. This arrangement cost me $5.99. 
🌿
Tip: If you look at Targets faux foliage stems only, they have a lot that are same of what use in there vases. The one I used was Hearth and Hand and was only $5.99 for a stem. The exact ones they used in there pots.
🌿
Hope you enjoy this as much as I have making it. 
Enjoy your day!

My husband decided to take vacation days this week, and my kitchen does not look so pretty. He has his 💩 everywhere. So annoying. 
💖
Here’s a little bit of the styling that I did. I will work on the coffee bar this weekend, though I’m running a blank on how to style it. I need some inspiration.

I’m sharing heart shaped cinnamon rolls that I made this weekend. I got the idea to make them from my friend Heidi @eleanorrosehome. She made the most delicious looking cinnamon rolls, that I couldn’t resist to make. So perfect for Valentines Day and sooooo easy! 
❤️
I took a can of Trader Joe’s cinnamon rolls and unraveled them, if that makes sense, and rolled them up like a palmier cookie. So fun! You could add food coloring to the frosting to make it pink and add sprinkles. Super cute! You can follow step by step recipe on Heidi’s Instagram page! 
❤️
Thank you Heidi for sharing the recipe. This was so fun!
❤️
Would you rather get chocolate or flowers for Valentines Day?

Happy Tuesday! Today we have Gale force winds and Happy Tuesday! Today we have Gale force winds and rain. I’m still blown away by this crazy weather. It feels like it’s never going to end. I just hope everyone is safe.
🌿
I’m sharing with you my corner of my living room. I love how open this space looks. I added greenery to give it a fresh look. I also stuck with mostly natural colors with an exception of some blues to bring my whole living room together. 
🌿
Tomorrow I am going to start to share Valentines Day. My dining room is filling up with hearts. It’s so fun. I can’t wait to start sharing. Hope you have a beautiful day!
