A little over a week ago I wrote about a bean sauce that I made. This past weekend I took the container of sauce out of the freezer and made "enfrijoladas". As I explained before, an "enfrijolada" is a variation of the enchilada, but instead of using a sauce made from chile peppers, a bean sauce is used.
I made a simple filling with shredded chicken with sautéed onions and garlic and seasoned with oregano and thyme. I warmed up the tortillas, and heated up the sauce. I dipped each tortilla in the bean sauce, put a heaping spoonful of filling on each, rolled them up and placed them, seam down, in a greased baking dish. I spooned more bean sauce over the "enfrijoladas" and topped then with a bit of Mexican style shredded cheese. I put the baking dish into oven just long enough to melt the cheese. (All the ingredients were already heated.) I garnished the "enfrijoladas" with a dollop of sour cream.
To accompany my "enfrijoladas" I cooked some "fideos" (a type of Mexican pasta that is similar to vermicelli but cut shorter) and mixed them with a spicy tomato sauce. I also had made some guacamole previously.
So here is what my tasty Mexican dinner looked like...
Yummy!
ReplyDeleteCan you tell that I am missing Mexico from all the Mexican dishes I am making? :-)
