The following recipe come from Mango and Tomato a fantastic food blog full of tasty dishes:
Using simple ingredients, you can make a hearty meal that takes minutes to put together and can be served for lunch or dinner. If you have kids in your household, I’m sure they’d be more than happy to help you assemble the enchiladas.

Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• lime salt to taste
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 19 ounce can enchilada sauce
• 1 cup brown rice, cooked according to directions on the package
• 14.5 ounce can diced tomatoes, drained
• 1/2 green chili pepper, minced
• 8 flour tortillas
• 15.5 ounce can black refried beans
• 2 cups sharp cheddar cheese

extras: sour cream, cilantro, salsa, guacamole

Directions:

1. Brown the ground beef with lime salt, chili and cumin. Add 1/2 cup of enchilada sauce. Mix.
2. Add drained tomatoes and diced chili pepper to the rice. Mix.
3. To assemble the enchiladas, spread refried black beans on a tortilla. Top with rice and ground beef mixture. Top with cheddar cheese. Roll.

4. Preheat the oven to 375.

5. Add enough enchilada sauce to cover the bottom of 9×13 Pyrex dish. Once the enchiladas are rolled, put them into the sauced dish seam-side down. Top with the remaining enchilada sauce and cheese.

6. Bake for 20 minutes.

7. Serve enchiladas with sour cream, salsa, cilantro and guacamole (I wish I had guacamole, but I did not).

Variations: the beauty of this dish is how versatile it is. You can substitute ground beef with ground turkey or chicken, or use leftover pulled pork. You can make the entire dish vegetarian! Of course you can also use any type of cheese you want and add regular black or pinto beans instead of refried beans.

Please tell everyone who wants organic foods ….

US House and Senate are about to vote on a bill that will outlaw organic farming (bill HR 875).

Main backer and lobbyis is Monsanto, chemical and genetic engineering giant corporation (and Cargill, ADM, and about 35 other related agri-giants). This bill will require organic farms to use specific fertilizers and poisonous insect sprays dictated by the newly formed agency to “make sure there is no danger to the public food supply.” This will include backyard gardens that grow food only for a family and not for sales.

If this passes, then NO more heirloom clean seeds, but only Monsanto genetically altered seeds that are now showing up with unexpected diseases in humans.

The name on this outrageous food plan is Food Safety Modernization Act of 2009 (bill HR 875). Get on the phone and burn up the wires! Get anyone else you can to do the same thing! The House and Senate WILL pass this if they are not massively threatened with loss of their position. They only fear your voice and your vote. The best thing to do is go to www.house.gov/writerep, put in your zip code and it will give your congressperson and how to get in touch with them. When you call their office tell them politely that you are calling to express your views on HR 875. They’ll take your name and address and pass your comments along to the congressperson.
