I mixed up a huge batch of “Enchilada Beans”:

  • 1 red onion, diced
  • 1 sweet onion, diced
  • 4 red bell peppers, diced
  • 4 cans of black beans, drained & rinsed
  • 1 cup of homemade enchilada sauce (1/2 batch of the sauce)

This added up to one bowl for lunch on prep day + nine 8 oz deli containers for the freezer.

Here is the recipe for the very easy enchilada sauce: https://www.budgetbytes.com/red-enchilada-sauce/

These “Enchilada Beans” can be microwaved with shredded cheese for an easy lunch, or added to nachos or tacos or any other Mexican style dish. You could even dump a batch of these in a pot of macaroni & cheese to add some veggies and change it up to Taco Macaroni.

    Have you thawed them before? Did the veggies and beans thaw okay?
