Deanna's Beef & Black Bean Enchiladas

My family loves mexican, but can't afford to eat out as often as we would like to have mexican food. Here is a recipe I put together and the family devoured it. It is now in the "Family Favorites" file:

Ingredients
1 Can black beans
1 lb extra lean ground beef (93%)
3 Tbsp Watkins Mexican Soup & Seasoning Mix
1 Cup water
1 Small can green chiles
1 Can mild red enchilada sauce
7 Burrito size flour tortillas
8 oz. Shredded cheddar cheese

Directions
Brown ground beef. Drain black beans and add to pan, along with Watkins Mexican Soup & Seasoning Mix, green chiles, and water. Stir together well. Let sit over medium heat until all the liquid has been absorbed into meat and beans (about 5-10 mins).

Divide meat/beans equally into 7 tortillas. Roll up tortillas and place in 9X13 baking dish that has been sprayed with cooking spray. Pour enchilada sauce over top of tortillas. Sprinkle cheese over top of tortillas.

Bake in oven (375)° for 20 mins, or until cheese is bubbly.

Taco Seasoning

I usually just use Watkins Mexican Soup & Seasing Mix on "taco night," but I found a great alternative should I run out of the aforementioned staple in our household. This recipe was found on a great website called AllRecipes.com

2 tablespoons Watkins chili powder
1/2 teaspoon Watkins garlic granules
1/2 teaspoon Watkins onion granules
1/2 teaspoon Watkins red pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon Watkins oregano
1 teaspoon Watkins paprika
1 tablespoon Watkins cumin
2 teaspoons Watkins sea salt
1 teaspoon Watkins black pepper

Place in sealed container and shake well to mix.

Yield: 20 servings (appx. 1 tsp/serving), adjust serving size to taste.
