I skipped the chilies and corn, and added a can of diced tomatoes. I used sprouted beans, homemade whole wheat flour tortillas, corn tortillas (I don't eat wheat), and green salsa instead of enchilada sauce since that's what I could find at the store. I mashed the beans and potato so that it was mixed a bit more and less chunky for my kids. The filling was delicious by itself and I'm going to freeze the leftover filling (I doubled the recipe), I'll probably just eat it plain.

Whoa mama! Some advice- let these babies sit overnight before serving...the flavors develop and meld much better together! Whipped these together yesterday for my dinners this week while DH is away and tried the mixture after I got done cooking it...just so-so. Reheated one tonight for dinner, topped it with just a bit of 2% cheese, jalapenos and light sour cream (no vegans here) and snarfed it down!!! So good, so hearty. Will make often. Thanks so much for the change of pace Chef!

These really lacked the flavor I was looking for. I'm usually all for healthy low fat recipes, but this one needed something else and I just couldn't put my finger on it.
