The theme of my last vegan cooking class was beans. Along with the theme, we made these enchilada casseroles. You may have also heard of this dish called Mexican lasagna. Essentially, it sort of takes like enchilada, but without all the frying and cheese. The cheese is replaced with strongly complementing ingredients such as roasted tomatoes, olives, green bell pepper, pinto beans, corn, and cayenne pepper.
If you're looking for an equally satisfying alternative to a traditional enchilada without all the fat and cholesterol, give this dish a try. Another great thing is that it's a quick and easy meal. It'll literally take you less than 30 minutes to make it. I made some steamed broccoli to add some color and vitamin C to the dish.
Ole!

Wow that looks very..."authentic!" David made whole wheat pasta in marinara sauce over the weekend. Everything was supremely healthy except for the chunks of sausage he threw in...
Ooo I love how you two are cooking. Whole wheat pasta with marinara sauce is a staple in our house. We do about once or twice a month when I open my fridge and realize that I have nothing but some mushrooms. Max makes a great kick-ass angel hair pasta with just Trader Joe's marinara sauce and tomatoes. Ironically my pastas never come out as good as his. Maybe there's a special connection between men and pasta... hmm... food for thought.
