Anyways...just tomato sauce, tomato paste, green chili's or jalepeno's, cumin, coriander, onion, salt & pepper. Simmer together 20 minutes and then I puree it. Cook down till you get your desired thickness or add a thickener like tapioca flour because it's a bit sweet. Sometimes I toss in 1 tsp sugar sometimes I don't. <br /><br />Hope you try it and enjoy! Now just to figure out a way to get around the canned tomato......hmmm. Time to start jarring during high tomato season. ;) I start making this around 2pm so it's ready for dinner. I'll also make a big batch of the sauce to store in the fridge for breakfast burritos with some enchilada sauce added to the eggs for flavor. oh I could go forever. I will stop now.Shirahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08879589283010191077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4517542010370875628.post-74360611689792500882011-03-30T08:40:45.444-07:002011-03-30T08:40:45.444-07:00oh yum! I totally do something similar. Since I...oh yum! I totally do something similar. Since I'm a vegetarian I use the morningstar farms veggie crumble and add that to a layer. I also do a cheesy rice layer. I make my own enchilada sauce and then use the 1/2 sauce 1/2 water to cook the rice. So 1 layer is beans and cheese, 1 layer cheesy rice, 1 layer meat/corn/black beans. I top with sliced olives to make it pretty! So yummy! It's different every time. Sometimes I premix black beans, corn, and fire roasted green chili's (now that I am not using canned stuff I just chop up a jalapeno or two and toss it in with the beans and corn. So many ways to do it but it always turns out fantastic!<br /><br />I'll have to try adding to cottage cheese into the beans. Never though of that. Thanks for the inspiration for tonight's dinner. ;)Shirahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08879589283010191077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4517542010370875628.post-39610127391428664402010-07-17T18:52:38.966-07:002010-07-17T18:52:38.966-07:00This looks fabulous!This looks fabulous!Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03810827017613969060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4517542010370875628.post-81855330835953180202009-02-08T20:14:00.000-08:002009-02-08T20:14:00.000-08:00I must agree that tasty and quick is a great combo...I must agree that tasty and quick is a great combo.
