So, it's obvious that I let this fall aside... I'm not sure what happened really. I meant to take a few days off while I wasn't feeling well and not cooking anything (my husband cooked or we went out for almost 2 weeks!) Then suddenly it was May and I hadn't written anything, but I was just too busy to pick it up again. And now, as we near the end of July, I feel a real need to blog about my day and my food! It is pouring out my pores, and so it must be brought to fruition!
Today was a fairly good day with twins behaving for the most part, but a sick husband threw a wrench into things. It all turned out for the good after a coffee run that seems to have settled everyone down for the evening. As everyone else watches Mulan, I am eating my dinner, taking a break from tying tutus, and typing this up!
I took 3 small zucchini and peeled, speared and cubed them, throwing them into a large saucepan to begin cooking. Then I took 3 ears of sweet corn and cut them off the cob, adding them to the pan. I had some leftover Carne Asada from a few days ago (about 1.5 cups)which I cut up into small pieces and put that into a saucepan with 1.5 small cans of green chili sauce (organic from Whole Foods)! I let the mix simmer in the pan over medium-high heat for about 15 minutes, then began filling the corn tortillas (La Tortilla Factory Flax & White Corn Tortillas) rolling each one in line in a 9x13 cake pan. I then covered the enchiladas with the other half a can of green sauce and with about 1 cup of mixed Light Cheddar and Mozzarella cheese (that my husband so lovingly shredded for me!) I had preheated the oven to 375 and I placed the pan into oven to melt the cheese. We serve with plain yogurt on the side!
They are a little spicy, but oh so good! The twins loved it, but you can probably cut the heat by using less green sauce in the pan to begin with and adding something else (I'm not sure what, but I will keep thinking on it!)
And now I will return to my tutus and my family, having successfully restarted this blog and put my enthusiasm for this meal in print!
