We have Mexican night at least once a week, and this is the perfect meal for it, sure to satisfy any craving! The white bean mash serves as a replacement for the oh so boring refried beans. You'll notice it gives a great zesty dimension to the dish. I recommend serving with sides of salsa and sour cream and a nice helping of yellow rice. Mmmmmm!

3 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon fajita seasoning mix
1/2 teaspoon onion powder

  • With leftover bean paste, spread in cracks and crevices of enchiladas, like mortar on bricks.
  • Sprinkle cheddar cheese over top of the entire dish.
  • Bake in oven at 350 degrees for 15 or 20 minutes or until hot. Use broiler if necessary to melt cheese completely.
  • Serve with a side of yellow rice and condiments such as sour cream and salsa.
  • In a 13 x 9 casserole dish, spread bean paste thinly.

CREAMY WHITE BEAN ENCHILADA SOUP



Creamy White Bean Enchilada Soup image

I love enchiladas but do not love all of the fuss that goes into cooking the filling, spooning, rolling, and then cooking again. I came up with this soup that has the flavor without all the fuss. No need for refried beans either because the beans are built into the soup. Feel free to add cooked chicken in the final step for a more hearty meal. Garnish with crushed tortilla chips, jalapeno slices, cheese, cilantro, or your favorite enchilada toppings.
