Cheat With Meat Day

There are two days a week I allow meat for myself.  Today was one of them and only for one meal.  For lunch I made a mock casadilla with hummus, tomato slices and baby spinach.  It was real good.  You don't miss cheese when you slather on hummus.  Yum!  I found tortilla shells in the refrigerated isle at Costco that has just the necessary ingredients and nothing more and they are really good.

For dinner I decided to make chicken, black bean enchiladas.  I would have taken a picture if I had thought about it cause it looked and tasted great.  I pre-made the enchilada sauce from here and used vegetable stock in place of water.  Then used this recipe for the enchilada stuffing but cut out the tofu and replaced it with shredded chicken.  I also added kale leaves as I was putting each enchilada together.  I didn't have any cilantro but it still worked out just fine plus I added 1 cup of thawed corn and 2 cups black beans to the mixture.

So you might be asking me why one sauce recipe over the other, well I do my best to find recipes that cut out oil and I didn't add oil to the enchilada mix.  Onions make their own moisture when sautéing so nothing scorched or stuck anyway.

I was able to get 9 enchiladas from these recipes.
