I need a good enchilada recipe....anyone know one? I am thinking cheese, corn, black beans, chopped onion, rice, all rolled up in a corn tortilla, and then some salsa on the outside....but I don't know if you need to let it sit for a while so the corn tortilla gets soft (soaks up the juice) or what kinda salsa is good to use. Any advice? Thanks!

Thanks Judy (me too :ph34r: ).

I will try the papertowel thingy, sounds good. I have some general ideas about ingredients, but just don't know about the details. I am SO not a cook. But my mom is flying in tomorrow for a week (to help me get ready for hubby coming home. I have soooooo much cleaning to do, and shopping, we are going to vegas, my husband, and I, for a week for our 4th anna!!)and I wanted to make my mom something yummy, but safe for me to eat. I await the good cooks' on here...... :unsure:

(about being up...yeah...went to be around 12:30 for maybe 2 hours...bad nightmare....been up since)

Here is 2 different ways that I make enchiladas:

First one is like a caserole:

Layer bottom of pan (sprayed with pam) with tortillas, rip some apart to cover whole bottom of 9x13

Next put layer of sauce

layer of meat

layer of cheese (I prefer velveeta)

top with another layer of tortillas

repeat layers until you are either out of room in pan or out of ingredients top with more cheese!! mmmm

then bake for maybe an hour or so at about 350 or 375 to melt all the cheese

2nd recipe:

pour a small amount of enchilada sauce into a 9x13 pan cover bottom of pan, but do not have tons of excess

get out a large plate pour some enchilada sauce onto the plate

dip tortilla into sauce coat both sides of tortilla, fill with meat and cheese roll and put into a 9x13 baking pan

continue this process until you have a full pan

pour remaining sauce over enchiladas and top with more cheese

bake at 350-375 until cheese is melted (maybe 30min or so)

I usually make my own enchilada sauce:

2 sm. cans tomato sauce (I use contadina)

Tablespoon oil

2 T. chili powder

1c water or chicken broth

1tsp garlic powder

2T corn starch

1C water

In a saucepan I put in the oil and chili powder. Keep stirring it because it will burn if you don't. This gets out the oils and flavors in the seasoning. THEN add in your water or broth. and bring to a boil. Disolve your cornstarch into the 2nd cup of water add this and also the garlic salt. Keep stirring and it will thicken.

Easy as can be to make!!

Enjoy your enchiladas!!

Enchiladas

3 (8 ounce) cans tomato sauce

1 Tbsp chili powder

2 tsp onion powder

1/4 tsp oregano

1/2 tsp salt

16 ounce mild cheddar cheese, grated

12 corn tortillas

1/4 cup oil

Mix tomato sauce with seasonings. Pour 1 cup of sauce over the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Pour the rest of the sauce into a shallow bowl.

In a frying pan with hot oil, heat both sides of each tortilla to soften.

Take one tortilla. Dip both sides into the bowl of tomato sauce. Then set the tortilla on a plate. Fill the tortilla with 1/4 cup grated cheese, roll and place seam side down in the baking dish. Repeat procedure with the other tortillas.

Pour remaining sauce over rolled tortillas. Top with remaining 1 cup of grated cheese. Bake at 350 F for 15 to 20 minutes until cheese bubbles.

Makes 12 enchiladas.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Beef or Bean Enchiladas:

Replace cheese filling with cooked shredded beef and/or refried beans.

But my mom is flying in tomorrow for a week (to help me get ready for hubby coming home. I have soooooo much cleaning to do, and shopping, we are going to vegas, my husband, and I, for a week for our 4th anna!!)

Well, well, well, truth be told.....DO YOU THINK THIS MIGHT BE ADDING TO YOUR STRESS AND ANXIETY :lol::blink::o:unsure:;):lol:

I'd be stressed to gills and boy when i get stressed and gt'n 'you all better watch out' even may cat avoids me... :lol:

have a wonderful time with mom so happy about hubby coming home... :)

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      No coincidence. Recent revisions to gluten challenge guidelines call for the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten (about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for a minimum of 3 weeks. If possible, I would extend that two weeks to ensure valid testing.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      Thank you both for the replies. I decided to bring back gluten so I can do the blood test. Today is Day #2 of the Challenge. Yesterday I had about 3 slices of whole wheat bread and I woke up with urgent diarrhea this morning. It was orange, sandy and had the distinctive smell that I did not have when I was briefly gluten free. I don't know if it's a...

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens. I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium. I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells. When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly. This is safe...

      Hello, @Jane02, I take Naturewise D 3. It contains olive oil. Some Vitamin D supplements, like D Drops, are made with fractionated coconut oil which can cause digestive upsets. Fractionated coconut oil is not the same as coconut oil used for cooking. Fractionated coconut oil has been treated for longer shelf life, so it won't go bad in the...

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty for this insightful information! I would have never considered fractionated coconut oil to be a potential source of GI upset. I will consider all the info you shared. Very interesting about the Thiamine deficiency.  I've tracked daily averages of my intake in a nutrition software. The only nutrient I can't consistently meet from my diet is vitamin D. Calcium is a hit and miss as I rely on vegetables, dark leafy greens as a major source, for my calcium intake. I'm able to meet it when I either eat or juice a bundle of kale or collard greens daily haha. My thiamine intake is roughly 120% of my needs, although I do recognize that I may not be absorbing all of these nutrients consistently with intermittent unintentional exposures to gluten.  My vitamin A intake is roughly 900% (~6400 mcg/d) of my needs as I eat a lot of sweet potato, although since it's plant-derived vitamin A (beta-carotene) apparently it's not likely to cause toxicity.  Thanks again!

      Hello, @Jane02,  I take Naturewise D 3.  It contains olive oil.   Some Vitamin D supplements, like D Drops, are made with fractionated coconut oil which can cause digestive upsets.  Fractionated coconut oil is not the same as coconut oil used for cooking.  Fractionated coconut oil has been treated for longer shelf life, so it won't go bad in the jar, and thus may be irritating to the digestive system. I avoid supplements made with soy because many people with Celiac Disease also react to soy.  Mixed tocopherols, an ingredient in Thornes Vitamin D, may be sourced from soy oil.  Kirkland's has soy on its ingredient list. I avoid things that might contain or be exposed to crustaceans, like Metagenics says on its label.  I have a crustacean/shellfish/fish allergy.  I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  I take additional Thiamine B 1 in the form Benfotiamine which helps the intestines heal, Life Extension MegaBenfotiamine. Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D.   Low thiamine can make one feel like they are getting glutened after a meal containing lots of simple carbohydrates like white rice, or processed gluten free foods like cookies and pasta.   It's rare to have a single vitamin deficiency.  The water soluble B Complex vitamins should be supplemented together with additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and Thiamine TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) to correct subclinical deficiencies that don't show up on blood tests.  These are subclinical deficiencies within organs and tissues.  Blood is a transportation system.  The body will deplete tissues and organs in order to keep a supply of thiamine in the bloodstream going to the brain and heart.   If you're low in Vitamin D, you may well be low in other fat soluble vitamins like Vitamin A and Vitamin K. Have you seen a dietician?
