Marty Jelinski’s Enchiladas

Here’s a quick recipe that you can make with pantry staples.  After a day of being out and about and you need dinner in a hurry, try Marty’s recipe for enchiladas.

 

Although a resident of Madison, Wisconsin, when you have relatives down here, you visit Cape Cod frequently – and Martha and Dave Jelinski do just that.  Although retired, Marty is a tutor, helping first graders learn to read.  She also plays the piano and is a passionate cook.  With 3 grandchildren in Hawaii, traveling is an important item on her agenda.  And when you hear classical music streaming from the Corvette convertible next to you, it’s probably Marty and Dave.  Marty often watched her mother making enchiladas for a house full of guests, so she makes them as a labor of love.  Here is her recipe.

Enchiladas
Serves 2

Ingredients:
4 -6 eight inch corn tortillas
1 can of vegetarian refried beans
1 small can of mild green chiles
1 8oz. package Mexican cheese blend
1 can red chile enchilada sauce (La Preferida brand, available in some supermarkets              or online)
chopped green onions (optional)

Directions:
Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
The tortillas should be put in a damp paper towel for a minute to soften them up (make it easier to work with e.g. “roll up”).
Lay out tortillas and evenly spread the vegetarian refried beans on each tortilla.  Next dribble the mild green chiles on top of the beans.  Add some of the cheese to each tortilla and roll up each one.
Coat a baking dish with a scant amount of olive oil, place the tortillas in the dish and drizzle with the red enchilada sauce to taste (Marty uses about 3/4 of the can) and more of the cheese.  You can also add a few chopped green onions on top.
Surprisingly, this dish will taste very light.  Provechito!
