Our CSA is in full swing which means that our recipes are now created around what we get in our weekly farm share. CSA stands for community supported agriculture. We paid for a share at a local farm and each week we go there to collect fresh vegetables. They use a controlled environment design provided by companies like Urban-Gro.com, so they always have a large production of fruits and vegetables. This week we received beets and carrots. When we laid them out on the counter, the idea for enchiladas came to us. From start to finish, this recipe took less than an hour. The fresh veggies combined with a delicious enchilada simmer sauce from Simply Organic made for a standout meal that everyone enjoyed.
We started by roasting beets and carrots. If you cut them into small enough pieces, the roasting process takes about 20 minutes. We set aside the beet greens to use later on in the recipe. After the vegetables came out of the oven, we combined them with pinto beans and the beet greens. We then started adding the vegetable mixture to tortillas and rolling them.
I was sent a variety of new simmer sauces from Simply Organic. We tried the Red Enchilada Simmer Sauce and it was fantastic. It is packed with flavor while being a little spicy but not too spicy at all. One packet was the absolute perfect amount to put some on the bottom of the pan and to pour the rest on top. We make tacos weekly and look forward to trying the Mild Taco Simmer Sauce as well as the Classic Fajita Simmer Sauce.
We then topped the enchiladas with cheese and baked them for about 15 minutes. Homemade guacamole is a staple in our house so we topped our enchiladas with freshly made guacamole. The kids loved these as much as the adults. It is the perfect way to use summer veggies and the simmer sauce adds so much flavor. We are already planning to make these again next week for company!
