Yummy Enchilada but sort of a burrito. Whatever you want to call it these babies are delicous and the key is the sauce! You will be wishing you made more of it as you eat your enchilada and dip it in the sauce yum! Garnish with sour ceam and you have one delicious meal!
I came upon this creation when I got sick of the red enchilada sauce you buy in a can. They never tasted quite right and some had a werid metal after taste. So there I was on a quest for a delicious red sauce! I found a restaurant style recipe online at www.recipes .com and I tweaked it a bit and wallah! The most delicious red sauce! It's no cafe rio but its certinaly tasty for how easy it is to make!
Then I played with the inside ingrediants until it was perfect. Just chicken and cheese was not enough! It needed something and that is where black beans fit in perfectly. I hope you enjoy my creation.
