Ingredients

4 Flour Tortillas

1 Poblano Pepper

½ cup Long Grain White Rice

1 15.5-Oz Can Black Beans

1 Zucchini

⅓ cup Guajillo Chile Pepper Sauce

4 oz Shredded Monterey Jack Cheese

1 Tbsp Mexican Spice Blend (Ancho Chile Powder, Smoked Paprika, Garlic Powder, Ground Cumin & Dried Mexican Oregano)

2 cloves Garlic

¼ cup Sour Cream

Directions

1 Cook the rice Place an oven rack in the center of the oven; preheat to 450°F. Carefully rinse the rice (sifting through for any impurities).Drain thoroughly. In a medium pot, combine the rice, a big pinch of salt, half the spice blend (you will have extra), and 1 cup of water. Heat to boiling on high. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low. Cover and cook, without stirring, 13 to 15 minutes, or until the water has been absorbed and the rice is tender. Turn off the heat and fluff with a fork.

2 Prepare the ingredients Meanwhile, wash and dry the fresh produce. Medium dice the zucchini. Peel and roughly chop 2 cloves of garlic. Drain and rinse the beans. Cut off and discard the stem of the pepper. Halve lengthwise; remove the ribs and seeds, then medium dice. Thoroughly wash your hands and cutting board immediately after handling.

3 Cook the vegetables & make the filling In a large pan (nonstick, if you have one), heat a drizzle of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the diced zucchini in an even layer. Cook, without stirring, 3 to 4 minutes, or until lightly browned. Add the chopped garlic and diced pepper; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, 2 to 3 minutes, or until softened. Transfer to the pot of cooked rice. Add the drained beans and half the sour cream; season with salt and pepper. Stir to combine.

4 Assemble the enchiladas Place the tortillas on a work surface. Spread about 2 cups of the filling into the bottom of a baking dish. Divide the remaining filling among the tortillas; tightly roll up each tortilla around the filling. Transfer to the baking dish, seam side down. Evenly top with the guajillo sauce and monterey jack. Season with salt and pepper.

5 Bake the enchiladas & serve your dish Bake the enchiladas 7 to 9 minutes, or until lightly browned and the cheese is melted. Remove from the oven. Let stand at least 2 minutes before serving. Serve the baked enchiladas topped with the remaining sour cream. Enjoy!
