FILLING

ENCHILADA SAUCE

Note: This recipes has received several (local) rave reviews. Really.

[A good idea before you start on the enchiladas is to start on the sauce (following) and let it simmer while you prepare the actual enchiladas. -cl] Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Saute onion, pepper, celery and parsley in oil. Add vegetables and cook, covered until tender. Add cornmeal, seasonings, and beans. Fill tortillas with generous ⅓ cup vegetable mixture and roll to form enchilada. Place enchiladas in single layer in baking pan. Cover with sauce. Top with cheese. Heat in oven for 20-30 minutes. Serves 6-8

Enchilada Sauce: Puree vegetables and spices with 1 can tomato sauce in blender. Pour into pan and add second can of tomato sauce. Simmer for 10-15 minutes.
