Avocado and pinto bean enchiladas

Color blitz! Waldo wonders, “Where’s enchilada?”

Why, it’s over there, in the striped tortilla:

The filling for these is exceptionally good and was well tested as it was cooking. The mushrooms and pintos are a great combination and the cashews give a nice little crunch and nutty flavor. The spices are also right on (though, easy on the lime).

Though great blaspheme for an enchilada fiend, these might even be better without the sauce: Just a quick sear on the burrito’d blend, and topped with sliced avocado, shredded lettuce and diced tomato.

Sweet potato mole and chipotle battered broccoli burrito

dinner, Jennie's Homemade Salsa, Southwestern, yum

Sliced sweet potato, cooked in mole sauce. The process gave them an essence of caramelization and the delicious potatoes combined very nicely with the battered broccoli.

Topped with guacamole and shredded cabbage – which added a nice crunch.

Leftover’s night ii, added a slice of the smoked provolone with the filling that was completely lost… However, a little more mole on top of the burrito and Jennie’s homemade salsa, were nice additions.

Another great dinner from Happy, healthy life: Lime cilantro quinoa, Mango-goji guacamole and chipotle tofu teamed together in a tortilla.

Each component is delicious on its own.

The lime, cilantro quinoa could be a great side and served as a delicious base for a yellow curry as well.

Mango makes anything better and is always an excellent addition to southwestern fare and avocado – what do you think, mango mole?

Finally, the tofu was sensational – every piece was eaten. Instead of frying the slices, marinate (in 2-3 times the quantity in the recipe) drained curd and bake at 225F for about 75 minutes, flipping (the fu) after about 45.

A delicious mix of flavors from Epicurean Vegan:

These tacos have been a favorite since first tried, last summer (over the birthday holiday!), yet they somehow eluded capture to this point, perhaps since they have only previously been observed in the wilderness – well, while camping.

The marinade is fantastic. Once the tofu is cooked we like to toss the pieces back into the marinade pan with what remained and, or, also like to spoon a bit of the sauce on the tortilla.

The slaw on top is an excellent complement and adds a great little crunch.

This is the first time the tofu wasn’t cooked over a campfire – still good. The smoke is a really nice addition, though, so perhaps a touch of liquid smoke for non-camp compilation, and baking could provide a bit firmer consistency, as it was on the flame.

One letter different and we would have had a one eyed cat instead of savory chocolate sauce.

Sadly, the origin of this marvelous mole, made months back, is a mystery.  It’s a very low fat version and much lighter in color than a usual mole but very excellent, nicely spiced and this is the fourth meal made — plus leftovers.

 

Filled with finely diced, browned potato, chopped spinach, diced onion, a lot of thyme, a little salt and a couple crumbled slices of smoked provolone.  This has turned out to be a fantastic filler for mole enchilada.

Topped with killer guac, chopped spinach and tomato.

Redone for Tau day and parental affirmation that approbation was not alone arisen from starvation — though the discussion regarding the wheat gluten and agar filling led to a little alarm and a realization this recipe’s only easy when those are on hand. 

Anything with a little sweet/tartness inside would match well with the sauce and salsa.

This sauce is the new go-to enchi sauce:  So easy and great flavor and complement.  Salsa, too, good on its own.

Dinner was contrarily followed with a blueberry pi.
