Enchiladas

I haven't posted about food in here forever, but I made a good dinner last night. I have been trying new recipes during break, and I haven't had much luck, but last night I made a batch of yummy enchiladas. My sauce is homemade, but it's from a copyrighted cookbook. So I'm not going to post it, but you can buy it. I have to admit, though, I've never even tasted bought enchilada sauce. I don't know how different it is from what I make. Here's the filling, and I created it myself.

First I sauteed up some onion and garlic. Then I added 2 cans of black beans, 2 cups of already cooked jasmine rice, one bag of Morningstar Crumbles, and one taco seasoning packet. I let that cook together for a while covered. Then I put the filling into fat free tortillas, rolled them up, put them in a glass casserole, and covered it all with the enchilada sauce. I baked them at 375 for 15 minutes. Ethan and I were sad that there weren't more. I do, however, have tons of filling left over. I just ran out of tortillas. I think that I will eat the filling plain today as a version of beans and rice. I should also say that we put torn up lettuce on the enchiladas, and you could use diced onion as a topping as well. Oh, I also put a little bit of vegan fake cheese sauce in each enchilada.
