Easy (Vegan) Crock Pot Enchiladas Recipe

SO yesterday at the grocery store I got this crazy idea to throw together some enchiladas. I figured, I could make a lot, they were relatively soft so Kadence could eat them too, & they were easy & cheap. Because these are all really awesome things, I figured I would share my recipe with you.

I didn't even think to take pictures, but oh well. Also, I don't ever use exact measurements so bear with me!

Ingredients:

1 can of black beans (drained & washed, I do this on all canned veggies to get rid of some of the salt!)
1 can of pinto beans (drained & washed)
1/2 an onion (chopped)
1 mini red pepper (chopped)
1 mini yellow pepper (chopped)
1 mini green pepper (chopped)
1 cup full of fresh assorted spicy peppers (chopped)
1 package of yellow rice (cooked)
1/2 bag of frozen corn
1 can of diced tomatoes with chiles (drained & washed)
1/2 block of diaya dairy free cheese (grated)
1 package of 8 flour tortillas
2 jars of salsa
1 jar of enchilada sauce

• Cook the rice while chopping the veggies
• Drain & rinse all canned veggies
• Combine all ingredients, except cheese, tortillas, salsa & enchilada sauce, in a bowl & mix
• In a crock pot pour 1/2 of a jar of salsa & some enchilada sauce along the bottom
• Spoon mix into tortillas & layer into crock pot, pouring enchilada sauce & salsa over each layer. Top each layer with cheese. 
• Cook on high for 2-4 hours. 

*alternatively you can bake in the oven, covered, for 20 minutes & then uncovered for 10. 

* you can pretty much add ANYTHING you want to these to suit what you & your family likes! 

Let me know if you like them :)

Turn Your Day Around With an Awesome Dinner

I'm pretty good with words, I can write fairly eloquently. I have been blogging for 3 years & do really well writing about topics I love & even topics I don't love. But let me tell you there is no good descriptive word for today beside shit. Today was shit. (If that word offends you, you're probably reading the wrong blog and you can click HERE to go to somewhere you fit in better.)

I got little to no sleep last night due to Kadence's teething (I think) issues. There is no other explanation for her lack or sleep/constant crying/overall sad demeanor, I hope. In addition, I found out I am now having to deal with more stuff about my old apartment that I could live my ENTIRE life without having to deal with. I actually had a miniature meltdown about this part of the day.

To deal with such stress I usually bake, but today I ate a bunch of chips and salsa & went for a really long run with Kadence in the stroller. I guess it all evens out.


But as bad as my day was, I managed a dinner (after the power came back on -.-). I made an awesome Pumpkin Alfredo (vegan of course) & SUPER yummy!! Here is the recipe I went off of & with a few minor changes, I omitted the allspice because I didn't have any & added a bag of steamed veggies (carrots, green beans, & peas) because I love vegetables. It turned out A-MAZ-ING. Enough to turn my day around at least.

Let me know what you think! xo
