BELL PEPPER ENCHILADAS

Bell Pepper Enchiladas image

Peppers are probably the vegetable that gets used most frequently in my kitchen. My freezer's constantly stocked in case I discover a new recipe to try or want to whip up an old favorite again. In a way, my parents helped create this recipe. They always taught never to waste. So one day when my husband (I'm a stepmom to two girls, 18 and 15) and I had prepared a Mexican meal and had peppers, cheese, salsa and tortillas left over, these were the result! -Melissa Cowser, Greenville, Texas

Roast the bell peppers before stuffing: Roasting the bell peppers brings out their natural sweetness and flavor. You can roast them in the oven or over a grill.
Use a variety of fillings: You can use any type of filling you like in your enchiladas, but some popular options include chicken, beef, beans, and vegetables.
Use a flavorful sauce: The sauce is what really brings the enchiladas together, so make sure to use a sauce that you love. You can use a store-bought sauce or make your own.
Top with cheese: Cheese is a classic topping for enchiladas, and it helps to hold everything together. You can use any type of cheese you like, but a Mexican cheese blend is a good option.
