Frugal Friday:Mom's Rice and Bean Vegetarian Enchiladas (Lent Friendly)

My family loves these enchiladas. It is my own recipe so there is no measuring. You can add as much or as little ingredients that will fit your family size.

The recipe below gives me two 9x13 dishes of enchiladas. I freeze the second batch for a quick dinner.

Ingredients:

Large flour tortillas

One large can or two small cans of red enchilada sauce

One box of Spanish rice

One large can or two small cans of re fried beans (If I am making this for lent I use the vegetarian re fried beans)

One can of whole kernel corn

Shredded cheddar cheese (I like sharp cheddar) Directions:

Pre heat oven to 350 degrees

Cook Spanish rice according to package directions. When the rice is done add the can of corn, some cheese and some of the enchilada sauce to moisten.

Spread out the tortillas. Spread the re fried beans on the tortilla then spread the rice mixture on top of the re fried beans. Fold each end of the tortilla inwards and roll into an enchilada.

Pour some of the enchilada sauce in the bottom of a 9X13 baking dish. Place your rolled enchiladas into the baking dish, pour the rest of the sauce on top of the enchiladas and sprinkle the cheddar cheese on top.

Bake in the oven at 350 for 30 minutes.

Enjoy

I like adding corn to Mexican style dishes, it adds a nice little burst of sweetness!

I wrote it all down and will have to try it next week, as we don't have all the ingredients for tonight, it looks great though, thanks!!

I copy and pasted it and can't wait to try it!

Sounds muy deliciosa! I might add a bit of jalapena because we like some caliente!

Gracias! ;)

I saw the link to your post over at tiphut.com (my lentil soup was linked to as well). This sounds great. I am definitely going to try it out during Lent. Thanks!
