Mexican Meatless Monday is back! I’ve been neglecting it because now that I live in Orange County I’m trying to keep my Mexican-ness on the down low. (source)
Remember when I dyed my hair blonde? Talk about a FAIL 
Someone should have told me looking albino isn’t my thing…
Not really. California is basically Mexico and I’m loud and proud about it. You should have seen me requesting Volver from the Mariachis yesterday…
Tonight I made super easy enchiladas stuffed with onions, beans, mushrooms and cheese.
Ingredients: 
The key to making a vegetarian dish “meaty” without adding fake meat is mushrooms. They have such a good bite!
Step 1: Cook onions, mushrooms, garlic (optional) through. Add can of refried beans, season to taste.
Step 2: Set up your enchilada rolling station. 
Don’t use the tortilla with a hole… 
Step 3: Spread 1/6 of filling onto tortilla. 
Add cheese.
Roll.
Recognize that there’s blood on your tortilla. Inspect.
F. You are bleeding. Way to go genius.
Get band aide. Finish rolling enchiladas. 
(I slammed my finger earlier and when I hit it again while cooking thought it was just hurting because of that. Don’t worry the bloody enchilada was already mine because I use different tortillas for Ben and myself.)
Step 4: Top with Trader Joe’s green salsa. 
Step 4 1/2: Drink the rest of it.
Step 5: Top with cheese and bake until melted/heated through.
Eat!
Happy Meatless Monday 
Looks delicious! Although I can’t stand mushrooms. They make things taste meaty. There’s a reason I don’t eat meat, blech! 😉 My husband loves them though, so they definitely are the key to making him a yummy veggie recipe.
Wow, you literally put your blood sweat and tears into that meal! And then you drank your salsa verde (which, btw I love that TJ’s salsa, it is bomb) which is even more awesome. The only thing more awesome would have been if you mixed in a shot of Patron lol
You are SO funny with your bloody tortilla and salsa drinking! These are the kind of posts that I wish more bloggers would do, where you’re still sharing an awesome and easy recipe but allowing your personality to shine through or in this case, be smeared on the actual food 🙂
enchiladas are one of my favorites! I’ve made a few diff meatless versions including sweet potato/black bean and kale/bean with a pumpkin sauce! need to try a mushroom version!
those look delish! I might have to try them out! 🙂
I want enchiladas, NOW!!! Those looked so good. I have to get me some of that delicious looking green salsa on my next trip to TJ’s.
It’s nice to know that I am not the only one who drinks Trader Joe’s green salsa
I listened to a Mexican guest speaker yesterday in one of my classes and he discussed cooking a little and I immediately left and went to get some Mexican food…reason #998 why I am a fat girl (on the inside at least)!!! Yay! Mexican Monday for me!!!
I love enchiladas!!!!!!!
oh man, this reminds me that i haven’t made enchiladas in a while, i need them in my life asap.
hope your finger is doing better.
I am addicted to TJ’s peach salsa, but I have yet to try the green. Cooking is a contact sport for me too.
Nice post. I love the way you put it all in pictures. Cant wait to check out some more.
Ummm.. can you bring a sombrero to HLS?
Done.
How are you? I’ve been thinking about you 🙂
Bueno! I think about you every day! Is that creepy?
Love that salsa! I buy it all the time.
PS- catching up on posts, LOVED your dress at the wedding!
Thanks 🙂
you never cease to amaze me with your fabulocity. looks like you got some green AND red sauce on one 😉
I’ll drink to green salsa! Can’t find any here in Alabama…I miss So. Cal!!
why don’t I make enchiladas … so easy!!
We had taco salads tonight with our fav. salsa verde…must have been in the air! I have to say though the whole blood thing made me queasy…and I’m not normally a queasy-type person when it comes to blood….~shudder~ I’ll be in the bathroom……looking green…like the salsa verde….
Those look delicious! I just moved to an area were there is a TJ, and I LOVE it! I love to see what other people get there because I don’t know what is good!
YES. I made these last time you posted a little how-to on enchiladas and they were amazeballs. I stuffed them with black beans and spinach. SO GOOD. I am obsessed with that TJ’s green salsa.
Mexican MEatless Monday ?? I love it !!! …and need to start that trend in my house.
Haha, blood and all, that enchilada still looks delicious!
I’m embarrassed to report how many times I’ve smeared blood on whatever I was cooking. It’s usually because I slice my hand open cutting veggies and think it’s no big deal, until there is blood running down my hand. They should make veggie cutting gloves that are knife proof.
They make those!

YUM!! I love using green salsa as green enchilada sauce. So much better!
You ate a tortilla with your blood on it. I think you’re officially my favourite blogger.
If I have to eat blood to be your favorite blogger, so be it – I will do just that!
I second that…pathogens aint got (bleep) on you ‘ol girl! 🙂
Trader Joe’s green salsa is addictive.. I adore it and add it to everything. So yum.
Just put a Hello Kitty band-aid on there and smile.
