I'll probably never give up S&B and Vermont Curry blocks, or Teddy Bear Soup Starter, but I've been able to break up with taco seasoning, sloppy joes and now enchilada spice packets.
I've been paying more attention to salt and additives, and am trying to use starter spices more selectively. I figured enchiladas could go without modified food starch, guar gum, maltodextrin and caramel color (how can this be an ingredient?).
I used most of the spices from Tortilla Soup, but added some brown sugar, lime juice and a couple handfuls of tortilla chips so that it tasted "like the mix" Adding finely chopped jalapeno pepper gives it some heat.
For nearly meatless enchiladas, I used just 2 chicken thighs, red and green peppers, an onion and a can of corn. I also tossed in some spinach since I had extra. If you wanted to go for all vegetables, you could swap out the chicken for black beans.
A good weekday dinner, with enough for leftovers for lunch. Click here for the complete recipe.
Eat well. Be well.
