Tastey Thursday

Pear blossom from last year, this year they aren't looking as good.
Sorry, no picture of the enchilada, that's blog basics huh?

A couple of weeks ago I threw a big package of ground beef, a jar of Corn and Black Bean Salsa and some rice in the crock pot to cook while I was out running errands. That night I think we had tacos with some of the meat and the rest of it I put in the freezer. Yesterday I used said defrosted meat combo to make enchiladas.
I have never made enchiladas.
My sister made them over Christmas and it sounded like she did it regularly.
...hmmm,
Why aren't I making them frequently if they are so good?
Yesterday I remember that the "Feed your family for $75 or less" cookbook had an enchilada recipe which of course I didn't follow completely but did use it to roughly figure out how to make the sauce.
I had one little can of tomato paste but no tomato sauce.
But, I did have one can of diced Italian tomatoes.
Also had a package of taco seasoning.
A little immersion hand blender action and...
Viola! Enchilada Sauce!
Delicious.
I was very surprised at how they soaked up ALL of the sauce...note to self...next time when I think I have put enough sauce on...put a little more.
Tonight it will be lentil soup.
What about you?
