Todays foods are full of things we may not be aware of or even know what they are! Why chance it? Cook as much from scratch as possible and avoid the concerns!
Here is an enchilada recipe I made that is easy and turned out super yummy!
(adapted from Barb Bloomfield)
Stir in:
4C cooked THRIVE pinto beans (we even have par boiled beans - instant. No fuss!)
1/2C bean stock or water
2T low sodium soy sauce
1T tomato paste made from THRIVE tomato powder (water added to thick consistency)
1t ground cumin
Let it simmer for about 10 minutes. Remove from heat.
Enchilada Sauce:
While the beans cook, saute in sauce pan:
1/2C chopped onion
1/2C chopped green pepper
1T minced garlic
1/2t extra virgin olive oil
When soft add:
3C low sodium pureed tomatoes or THRIVE tomato powder, reconstituted
2C water
3 1/2T chili powder
2t ground cumin
1/2t dried oregano
1/2t salt
Simmer for 10 minutes. Pour a couple Tablespoons of sauce in the bottom of baking dish. Use corn tortillas and dip in pan of sauce and then fill with bean mixture then roll. Dipping the tortillas keeps them from cracking while rolling. Place filled tortilla in baking dish. Repeat.
Once you have filled your pan (approx. 12 corn tortillas), top with a handful of your favorite THRIVE cheese, reconstituted.
Bake at 350 degrees 20 to 25 minutes, untli cheese is bubbly and begins to brown on the sides.
It really is scrumptious!! Another family favorite I can add to my list. Yay! It's growing and I have more and more healthy choices for dinner. I know we are getting the best possible nutrition. I would make my own tortillas but I am not that advanced in my cooking skills as of yet. Soon, though!
Thrive foods are delicious! Why not host a cooking demo and see for yourself? These are so fun and the food is so good. I would love to show you just how wonderful they taste and how easy they are to use every day!
