Get ready for a saucy, smothered, and oh-so-delicious enchilada bake that will satisfy all your cravings. This recipe has everything you could possibly want, from the flavorful filling to the gooey cheese on top. And the best part? It's super easy to make!
First, you'll start by wrapping tortillas around a filling of poblano pepper, tomato, and beans. This combination of ingredients creates a hearty and satisfying base for the dish. Once your enchiladas are assembled, it's time to give them a generous coating of mild green salsa and a sprinkle of Monterey Jack cheese. Pop them in the oven and let them get nice and bubbly.
While the enchiladas are baking to perfection, you can whip up a spiced sour cream to drizzle on top. It adds a tangy and creamy element that takes this dish to the next level.
Once everything is done, all that's left to do is dig in and enjoy the deliciousness!

Our Ratings
Now, let's talk about my ratings and whether I would recommend this dish for your weekly menu. In terms of prep, I give this recipe a solid 10 out of 10. Granted a lot of multitasking and steps happening at the same time; Gordon Ramsay wasn't looking over my shoulder. It's fine. For a recipe that does not have meat, the salsa verde enchiladas tasted amazing. I mean this was one of the first recipes I have made in my new apartment so I was like in Kitchen Heaven compared to my old apartment kitchen. *cue the roaches.* Let me tell you, ICK.
Now, everyone's tastes are different, so let's hear from Shayne. He gives this dish an 9 out of 10. While he enjoyed the vegetable-based enchiladas, he loves some braised beef or chicken to be added to the Mexican dishes he eats. However, he was pleasantly surprised at the taste and would have the recipe again if it were to be ordered.
Those Fresh Savings and Recommendations
Now, let's talk about the cost. If you want to try making this enchilada bake on your own, here's the breakdown of ingredient costs at Walmart: 2 scallions ($0.88), 1 poblano pepper ($2.64), 1 Roma tomato ($0.44), 13.4 ounces of black beans ($0.78), 1 tablespoon of Southwest spice blend ($2.12), 6 flour tortillas ($1.98), 7.06 ounces of green salsa ($2.96), Monterey Jack cheese ($2.22), Sour cream ($1.88), Chili Pepper ($2.10) Vegetable oil ($3.84), Butter ($3.68), Salt ($2.32), Pepper ($3.77).
The total comes out to $31.61, which is slightly cheaper than receiving a four-portion size with HelloFresh. However, you'll have to figure out the timing and all the details on your own. In addition, this is a little more pricey because you have to pay for oils, butters, and seasonings. However, let's be honest. you can stock pile oils, butter, and spices. You will pay one price and use continually until a. they go bad, b. you stop cooking, or c. unless someone ransacks your kitchen during a robbery.
I mean hey, I had the weirdest shit stolen when my house was robbed. Took my blow dryer and curling iron, but not my straightener. Luckily. I got to fry my hair still. But...that's beside the point.
I don't currently use any cashback applications with my subscription. However, I got HelloFresh's deal of money saved across 16 boxes. I mean and I got a free cheesecake with this box. YAY. Not Cheesecake Factory quality but it'll do.
Personally, as a working mom, I truly appreciate the concept behind this enchilada bake. It caters perfectly to our busy lifestyles, offering a quick, convenient, and incredibly flavorful meal. And the best part? Cleanup is a breeze! However, whether it becomes your absolute favorite depends on your tolerance for heat and spiciness. Thank you pregnancy for making my love of spicy food stronger.
So why not give it a try and see for yourself? HelloFresh is ready to elevate your vegetable game and turn them into scrumptious masterpieces that will leave you craving more. Shocking you don't need meat to complete a meal.
