Friday Night Dinner - Vegetarian Enchiladas

A couple of things you should know about me up front:

I am an army brat.  This is important because it means I got to travel the world and try some amazing food.  And having lived in Texas for a total of 9 years, I LOVE Mexican food.

Another thing to note is that I am catholic.  This means that through out lent (the period between Ash Wednesday and Easter) I will not be eating meat on Fridays.

This particular Friday, I invited a young friend over to join me.  She is in high school and became vegetarian a few months ago.  Unfortunately she is not really into vegetables.  So I am inviting her over to join me in an effort to get her to eat some veggies.

Dinner today is Vegetarian Enchiladas.  This isn't really from a recipes.  I simply sautéed some onions, garlic, red and green bell peppers, and zucchini together.  I then mixed it with some black beans, cumin, smoked paprika, and some shredded cheese.  I rolled it in some corn tortillas.  I poured over some enchilada sauce and covered in cheese.  I baked it in the oven until heated and cheesy.

They turned out tasty and I was able to sneak in some vegetables into my friend's diet so mission accomplished.
