I’m not sure how this recipe came about. Probably a craving for Mexican food – like tacos — and a desire to make something hearty and ‘meaty.’ I remember these worked with the very first batch and very little has changed since then. I think the sautéed vegetables, mixed with the beans and some fresh pico de gallo (fresh salsa) are an incredible combination and certainly this gives you lots of protein. You can try different beans – I’ve used a mixture of black and kidney beans, but prefer the texture of the red kidney beans. These are great served with rice (we like short grain brown rice) and fresh pico de gallo, a little sour cream and some freshly chopped cilantro.
Put a little cooking oil in the pan and sauté the carrots over medium heat for about ten minutes. They should be a little brown around the edges.
Add celery, onions and jalapenos and sauté until they have a bit of colour. Add the kidney beans, pico de gallo and burrito seasoning mix. Stir, taste and adjust seasoning and cook til heated through.
To assemble, heat the tortillas in a cloth in the microwave for 30 seconds. This makes it easier to fold them.
In each tortilla, place a couple of large spoonfuls of the bean mixture. Top with a nice helping of the mixed grated cheese. Fold sides in and roll closed and place in a baking dish seam side down for all 10 tortillas.
Pour enchilada sauce* over the top of the burritos and sprinkle with cheese. Bake at 350 degrees for about 30 – 45 minutes until everything is bubbly and brown or until you just can’t wait another minute.
NOTE* I Usually Use La Victoria Because It’s Available In Canada – It Comes In Red Or Green – Either One Is Great – Or Use One Of Each. In New Mexico You Can Have Your Enchiladas With Red Sauce, Or Green Sauce.
