Bean and Rice Enchiladas



I know lots of people have a relatively small comfort zone when  it comes to supper. Having said that, these are well worth stepping out of your comfort zone for....


Bean and Rice Enchiladas
4 tortillas *
1 tablespoon oil
1 large onion,diced
1 red pepper diced
1 large tomato, diced
1 cup sweet corn
1 cup kidney beans
2 tablespoons chopped chili peppers ( I used these)
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup cooked rice
4 tablespoons cream cheese
1 cup salsa, spaghetti, pizza or marinara sauce
4 ounces cheddar cheese 

Heat oil in a large frying pan. Add onion, pepper and tomato and saute until soft. Add in corn, beans, chili peppers, spices and cream cheese, and cook until completely combined. Stir in rice. 
Spoon bean mixture in the center of the tortilla. Roll up and lay in pan. Repeat with remaining tortillas. Spoon sauce of your choice over the burritos, and sprinkle with cheese. Bake at 375°, or until the cheese is golden and bubbly.

* If you don't have access to tortillas, you can either use wraps, or make them yourself. I found a great recipe here
