Veggie Bean Enchiladas

Veggie Bean Enchiladas with Larry's Ranchero Sauce are a delicious vegetarian alternative to meat-filled enchiladas. Use black or pinto beans and cheese (vegan if you like) and you have a good protein source. As the garden season changes, you can add any of your favorite vegetables to this easy-to-prepare lunch or dinner.

1 cup finely chopped zucchini
1 cup fresh or thawed corn kernels
1 cup black or pinto beans, rinsed and drained
1 16 oz. jar of Larry's Ranchero Sauce
2 cups shredded Monterrey Jack, mild cheddar or Mexican cheese
8 corn or whole grain tortillas
1/2 cup minced fresh jalapeno, scallions or onion

1. Preheat the oven to 350'
2. Place the zucchini, corn and beans in a medium saucepan. Add 1/2 cup Larry's Ranchero Sauce and cook over medium low heat until the vegetables are cooked, about five minutes.
3. Heat the corn tortillas in a dry skillet until pliable, cover and keep warm.
4. Add 1 cup of the cheese to the veggie bean mixture and stir to blend.
5. Fill the corn tortillas with veggie/bean/cheese mixture, roll and place in a casserole dish.
6. Spoon the remaining Larry's Ranchero Sauce over the enchiladas, bake in the oven for 20 to 25 minutes until the cheese is bubbling.
7. Sprinkle with the minced jalapeno and serve with an avocado slice and dollop of sour cream.
8. Serves 4.

Larry's Easy Cheesy Enchilada Casserole

Larry's Easy Cheesy Enchilada Casserole is a dish of baked enchiladas without the hassle of rolling the fillings in corn tortillas. Think of it as Mexican lasagna. This is really easy, my kids love it and I predict it will become the new favorite casserole for pot luck suppers. I've used Larry's Ranchero Sauce in this recipe, but feel free to use Larry's Chipotle Sauce or Larry's Mole Sauce instead.

1 16 oz. jar Larry's Ranchero, Mole or Chipotle
6 to 8 soft corn tortillas
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
1/3 lb. ground beef, chicken or turkey
2 cups grated cheddar or Monterrey Jack cheese
1 cup shredded zucchini

1. Preheat the oven to 350'
2. Add the vegetable oil to a medium sized pot and brown the ground meat.
3. Add Larry's Ranchero Sauce to the pot and stir it into the browned meat.
4. In a two quart baking dish, place a spoonful of warm sauce mix on the bottom.
5. Place a corn tortilla on top of that. Sprinkle with cheese and zucchini, more sauce and cover with another tortilla.
6. Repeat with the layers of sauce mix, zucchini and cheese ending with sauce mix over all topped with cheese.
7. Bake in the oven for 30 minutes or until the casserole is hot and bubbly. Serves 4 to 6
