RECIPE!!!!

I have been wanting to share recipes via this list since I started it, and I am pleased to finally be doing it! I will try to regularly include some recipes in my e-mails, so keep an eye out for them! If you have a great recipe to share, please pass it on to me!

This recipe gives you an easy to make meal that is delicious and fairly easy to make.

While most people are content to eat our vegan queso with chips, there are other delicious things to do with this wonderful conconction available daily in our deli grab-n-go case.

Enchiladas w/ Wheatsville vegan queso  recipe by Rosie Weaver

You will need
one large onion, diced
3 cloves garlic, diced
1 tbsp. Oil
1 medium red bell pepper, diced
1 medium zucchini, diced
1/2 tsp. Salt
1/4 tsp. Cumin
A squirt of Braggs Liquid Aminos or soy sauce
1 can black beans, drained
1 can La Victoria enchilada sauce w/ salsa
1 package corn tortillas


Sautee the onion and garlic in the oil until soft and clear.
Add in the zucchini and pepper and salt, cumin, and Bragg’s or soy sauce.
Cook until the veggies are tender add bean and mix together.
Heat oven to 350˚

Cover tortilla on 1 side w. enchilada sauce
Put scoop of veggie/bean mixture on tortilla
Roll up tortilla like a tube
Lay it in 9 x 13 pan  and repeat until the pan is filled up with enchilada tubes.
Warm Wheatsville Queso in microwave in a microwave or on the stove. 
Thin with water or soymilk until it’s the consistency of ketchup and pourable.
Pour it evenly over your rolled enchiladas.
Bake for 20-30 minutes until hot on inside and queso is bubbly. 

Serve it up and eat, eat, eat!

The queso is good for Super Bowl snacking, too, though! You can heat it with some soymilk and serve it on up!

I think I'm going to make this this weekend!

Have a great week!
