When it comes to comfort food, several dishes come to my mind; Tuna Casserole, Fried Chicken, Macaroni and Cheese or "Mom's Lasagna" to name a few. Comfort food is what we eat when we miss home, when we have had a hard day or simply because it's pouring outside.
They say you won't need food in heaven, but it's ironic to think the closest thing I can equate that to is a gooey chocolate chip cookie just out of the oven- pure bliss!
For today's Meatless Monday post, I wanted something comforting, soulful and satisfying. Therefor, I give you my recipe for Black Bean, Caramelized Onion and Sweet Potato Enchiladas each bite offers up its own hug in your mouth. There are tons of vibrant flavors and these enchiladas are healthy! For all you serious veg heads, you can make this dish vegan by simply omitting a couple ingredients. Another thought I had after I had already sprinkled Jack cheese on the top, is that these enchiladas would be killer with goat cheese instead- (mouth is watering at the idea).
The best part about making a large pan of enchiladas is that they reheat well for lunch the next day. Seriously, you will make everyone jealous at work when you microwave these enchiladas in the office. Happy Meatless Monday everyone!
And here is the recipe!
