• Cut vegetables

• Garlic powder
• Olive oil
• Salt and pepper
• Parmesan cheese

Put in 350 degree oven and bake for 25 minutes.

• 3/4 cup sugar
• 2 cups mashed bananas 
• 3/4 cup oil
• Mix together then add eggs 1 at a time.
• 2 eggs
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 1 tsp banana extract ( optional)
• In separate bowl:
• 2 cups all purpose flour
• 1.5 tsp cinnamon 
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp baking powder 
• 1/2 tsp salt

Sift or whisk together to break up lumps

Add dry to wet a little at a time. Put mixture in a sprayed loaf pan.

Heat oven at 325 and bake for 50-65 minutes. Check on it after 50 minutes.  It is done when the middle doesn’t wiggle and knife comes out dry.

I wanted to make something different but I could not go shopping. I had dry beans and no enchilada sauce. I decided to go through all this for this dish. It was really good and worth it.

This is busy recipe since I do not have enchilada sauce or refried beans. I had to make them from scratch and dry beans. I used an instant pot, two hot plates and one oven.

Instant Pot needed to soften the beans. Place 3 cups of dry beans in 7 cups water with 1 Tbsp beef bullion and 2 tsp salt. Set the pressure cooker and time for 26 minutes and natural release for 20-25 minutes. If beans are still hard put cover back on set for 5 minutes on pressure cook and 5 minutes natural release. Put beans in a pot and mash them or use an emulsifier to smash them smooth. Add salt and chili powder for taste.

Or… just use 2 cans of refried beans. LOL

• 1.50 lbs of ground beef browned
• 2 TBSP oil
• 1/2 medium onion
• 2 tsp cumin
• 1 TBSP chili powder
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 italian seasoning
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon (sounds weird but adds flavor)
• 3 TBSP tomato paste
• Salt and pepper
• 2 TBSP Flour
• 2 cups beef or vegetable broth
• 2 TBSP water

Cook ground beef and remove from pan. I rise out the pan of excess oil. Add oil and onion and cook for about 5 minutes. Add the rest of the ingredients up to flour and cook for 2 minutes while mixing constantly. Add flour and mix quickly. Add broth and water and mix well. Add meat and set aside. You have now made enchilada sauce.

• Large baking pan (lasagna size)
• Large tortillas ( I used 5 Large ones)
• the meat mixture
• shredded cheese (I shred my own)
• refried beans

Pre heat oven to 350.

We are now ready to put it together. Spread a little of the enchilada sauce in pan. Get one tortilla and spread beans and sprinkle with some cheese and roll it up like a cinnamon bun. Place in pan. repeat until pan is full. Pour the meat mixture over the rolled enchiladas. It should cover them completely. Sprinkle with Cheese and place in over uncovered for about 20 minutes. Serve with salsa and homemade chips.

This is a lot of work but worth it. Enjoy!

You will need a large bowl, a mixing spoon, and a loaf pan.
