Join the discussionI just wanted you to know that this is DELICIOUS!!! Thanks so much for sharing the recipe!
I made these tonight and boy are they yummy. I will definitely be making this again.
Do you have the nutritional info for these?
We only do nutritional information for our diet menu as with the added resources of menus it doesn’t leave us extra time for nutrition facts. You can research the nutritional values yourself here – http://caloriecount.about.com/….
Thank you! Do you know how long they can stay in the freezer for?
This is a great post to help you with that http://onceamonthmom.com/get-s…
Yum. Made these and added one box of thawed frozen spinach to up the nutritional value for the kids. (and the juice of one small lime for flavor).
I got 2 pans (8″x8″) out of this recipe. I’m not complaining about that, but did I do something wrong? I’ve wrapped the second pan and put it in the freezer for another week, so I’m pleased with the outcome!
Nope that’s great!
1.34 cups sweet potatoes? Is this a typo?
Nope, it’s not a typo. Because we figure out the ingredient amounts for the menus, which are customizable per person, some of the amounts can sometimes look odd. This is essentially 1 1/3 cup, though 🙂
These were excellent! My husband and kids absolutely loved them and they’ve been frozen for 9 weeks. I added some chopped up tofu to the bean mix and a little lime juice. Delicious!
Tina– Thank you! Adding tofu is a great idea. I’ll have to try that 🙂
is the recipe written for one 8×8 pan or two? also, i’ve usually seen corn tortillas used in enchiladas, so wondering why you opted not to use corn tortillas? do they not freeze as well? thanks!
It is for 1 8×8 pan (usually 4 servings will fit in one 8×8). Corn tortillas would work as well. We just used flour for a little variety. Enjoy!
great! thanks. looking forward to trying it this week!
these are delicious! i even make them without the cheese to keep them dairy free for my family and use corn tortillas to make it gluten free. its excellent!
Hi! It doesn’t say to drain the beans so I assume the liquid from the can goes in with the beans as well?
Thanks!
Correct!
Love these!!
What kind of salsa verde do you use?
You can use any type of salsa verde that you prefer!
