Pumpkin black bean enchiladas

Very tasty and easy —original recipe here https://minimalistbaker.com/pumpkin-black-bean-enchiladas-gf-
 Or here https://minimalistbaker.com/wprm_print/98487

This is what it looks like before putting it in the wraps— I actually like this just like this and it would be good with rice this way. Go to link for how to make in a casserole. Also would be good as is and served with taco chips or the hard corn tortillas . The link above tells how to cook it. The link for sauce is below here.

1 and 1/2 cups chopped purple onion 

1 large chopped red or orange bell pepper

2 cups chopped kale

2 cans drained and rinsed black beans (I used one, but 2 is better)

3 cups enchilada sauce divided

Tortillas (8 (8 inch) or less if not using 2 cans of black beans

These Gf  tortilla work great in this dish— they bake up nicely. See the top link for oven directions. Basically you spread a bit of the sauce ( you have reserved from your  batch) in a pan and fill the tortillas putting seam side down and top with more sauce. Bake at 350 or I did it higher until warm and a bit crisp. Takes about 15-20 minutes.

Pumpkin enchilada sauce

 

Got this idea from here https://minimalistbaker.com/wprm_print/98340

This is really fast and nice flavors. Go to the link for extra spicy sauce— I altered it for myself as I can’t have the extra heat.

1   14.5 ounce can of diced tomatoes or fire- roasted tomatoes

1    15 ounce can pumpkin purée

1/3 cup raw cashews 

1 cup chicken broth or if vegan use vegetable broth 

2 and 1/2 teaspoons  cumin

1/2 teaspoon of smoked paprika 

1/4 teaspoon coriander

Sprinkle of chili powder

DIRECTIONS 

Blend in food processor or high speed blender. Taste and add more seasoning as needed. Serve warm over enchiladas or black beans etc.

Note: the cashews mix better if you let them soak a bit in hot broth first if you don’t have a high speed blender— which I don’t— but still tastes good even though I didn’t do it this time.

Fagioli 2

 Very tasty- I substituted gradients plant-based ground be’f made from soy. Go to link for directions. Also I  have used just a 32 ounce box of beef broth instead of the 3 cans and it is still very good. https://togetherasfamily.com/wprm_print/7463

Ingredients

• 1 lb lean ground beef OR meatless soy crumbles (I used about 1/2 a bag
• 1 yellow onion finely diced
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 3 cans (14.5 oz each) beef broth
• 1 can (14.5 oz) petite diced tomatoes do not drain
• 1 jar (24 oz) spaghetti sauce (used Lidl marinara)
• 1 cup thinly sliced celery
• 1 cup thinly sliced carrots
• 1 can (15 oz) kidney beans drained & rinsed
• 1 can (15 oz) cannellini beans drained & rinsed
• 1 teaspoon ground oregano
• 1 teaspoon dried basil
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon pepper
• 8 oz dried small shell pasta about 1½ cups

I cooked mine about an hour and added the brown rice pasta afterwards cooking 15 minutes more. I also microwaved the carrots for two minutes 30 seconds in my 900 watt microwave first as sometimes carrots take forever.

Sweet and sour spam/ham

Apparently spam has become more popular than ever— so for the fun of it we tried this old recipe and really enjoyed it. Next time I will use more of the bell pepper as mine was small. I used rice vinegar for the vinegar.

Note: this would also be good with chicken in place of spam, I think.
 

Mexican corn cakes

So very tasty and quick. Nice lunch or supper if served with corn on the cob and salad. This makes 3 servings.

 

Note: I used GF bisquick so I added about 1 and 1/2 tablespoons of melted butter to the batter. I used 1 egg instead of the egg whites. I used unsweetened almond milk for the milk. .

DIRECTIONS 

1.  In small bowl mix Bisquick, corn meal, egg, milk. And if using gf bisquick include the addition of the melted butter.

2.  Heat griddle to 375 or mine at medium. For each pancake pour slightly less than 1/4 cup batter (this will make 6 pancakes).  Cook until edges are dry and flip until golden brown.

3. In small bowl mix salsa, olives, and corn. Heat this till warm in microwave.  

4. On each serving plate ( make sure microwaveable) place one pancake and top with 2 tablespoons of retried beans. Top with another pancake.  Spread about a 1/3 cup salsa mixture over the top. Shred some cheddar cheese on top. Microwave until cheese melts.

5. Top with sour cream if desired.

• 2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme (fresh is best!)
• ½ teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste
• Lots of freshly ground black pepper
• 6 garlic cloves, finely minced
• 1 large yellow onion, cut into chunks
• 3 large carrots, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch diagonal slices

This is different from some crockpot recipes as it has you brown the chicken first.
