So, ever wonder how I happened to start this little blog? Well, back in the day, I used to post recipes on the hubs’ blog. I’d share what I was feeding him for training, taper, etc. This was before Healthy Bites took over my life and I was a newly wed. Meaning, I adored making meals from scratch each night. Haha. Not so much anymore. Now, don’t get me wrong, I still LOVE to make meals from scratch, but don’t have nearly as much time. I still cook almost every night but let’s just say the minute brown rice with eggs, salsa, and chicken sausage have been showing up more than usual.
This recipe I made back in 2008. Man, I really should make it again. It was delicious! you can find the original blog post here. Glad I learned how to take better pictures since then, well kinda. haha.
Salmon Black Bean Enchiladas
| Salmon Black Bean Enchiladas |
- 1. 6-8 oz. of grounded salmon burger patties.
- 2. 3-4 medium white corn tortillas
- 3. 1 can jalapeno or regular refried BLACK beans (low-fat).
- 4. 1 small can of jalapeno diced tomatoes
- 5. 1/2 cup mozzarella or pepper jack cheese. Vegan option: DAIYA
- 6. 2-3 shakes of Cumin
- 7. 1 wedge of laughing cow cheese (light)- Optional
- 8. Salsa to taste
- For those wanting extra carbs, add in some pre-cooked brown or spanish rice. I had some extra Santa Fe brown rice blend which I placed under the cheese before baking it in the oven.
- Spray a baking dish with oil. Take each corn tortilla a lightly pat on butter or olive oil. Go ahead a cook salmon burger meat so that they are fully down but not well-done. In the meantime heat beans in microwave or stove top and mix in laughing cow cheese, cumin, and tomatoes. Make sure the cheese is all melted but it’s not too hot yet. Then place black mixture and salmon meat together in one bowl. Transfer heaping portions into each corn tortilla and roll tightly. Line each tortilla up in the baking dish. Cover the top of the tortillas with more tomatoes and salsa, then add the cheese on top to cover the tortillas evenly. I baked this for about 15-20 minutes on 350 degrees but it depends on how melted you like your cheese. You can also broil it for the last 3-5 minutes or so to get it even more browned. All together this should only take 30 minutes max. I heated mostly everything in the microwave and used leftover salmon burger patties so it was cake!
Now, wish me luck.. I mean wish us luck. We trying to move this weekend and housesit and celebrate father’s day. Uh? Who planned that? Crazy Cotters!
Off to go find where I stored all our stuff before our New Zealand trip. Sheesh!
What’s your favorite flashback recipe?

LC

I love black beans in enchiladas. I actually love enchiladas
Lots of luck moving this weekend. You sound, um, busy!
Heather (Where’s the Beach) recently posted..Long Run & Fun Facts Friday – Why
this is so your kinda of recipe… except tempeh instead of salmon, right?
GOOD LUCK moving!!! YAY! And those look damn good!! But your chicken sausage meal sounds equally as delish, just saying
jobo recently posted..It’s Friday…let the countdown begin! (12 days!)
it really is, simple and delicious. can’t complain. Cheers friend!
I’ve been doing flashback recipes too lately! I’m currently eating my soy free fried rice with coconut amines and sriracha! I get caught up in trying to do different things all the time and forget about my old favorites. Your salmon dish looks amazingly delicious!!! Have a great weekend and good luck with packing!
Sarena (The Non-Dairy Queen) recently posted..Chocolate Dipped Peanut Butter Cookie Dough Bites
i’m loving your old recipes! keep posting them. It’s comforting. And packing, well, it’s just plain awful!
That recipe sounds so good! I actually used to make an enchilada casserole years ago that was amazing and I don’t know why I stopped making it…
Good luck with your busy weekend!

i bet you can make it even better and healthier now, ya know?
Lasagna! Reminds me of my mother’s kitchen!
I still make it for my boys, but with a lot less pasta and cheese! (And I don’t eat 1/4 of the pan any more)
Tamara recently posted..Recipes and requests: dessert hummus, healthy granola, monthly newsletter and a YouTube video
I love using eggplant or zucchini now for lasgna. Veggie heaven, yes?!
good luck with the move I’m sure you can’t wait to just be settled for once (?!). I’m about to take my salmon dinner out of the oven in fact
katie @KatieDid recently posted..Coconut Milk Banana Split
i love that you are eating salmon now.. and WINE!
Good luck with that move – I have moved a lot – no fun.. and we are looking again! :-O Nice recipe!

again? where to? bigger or smaller house?
Good luck with your busy weekend, it might seem overwhelming at times, but you will of course get through it
OH and yeah, this recipe looks great… I used to order enchiladas all of the time when dining out for mexican, mmm
Tessa @ Amazing Asset recently posted..Finding The Fit & Other Items To Mention
totally is! but there will be an end, hopefully sooner versus later. haha.
Yum! These look delicious!
Matt @ The Athlete’s Plate recently posted..Friday Favorites
you know there was goat cheese in there. oh yea!
I’ve never actually made enchilada’s before, but it looks really good. Mine would probably be the traditional baked lasagna. Of course, being single, I don’t make it for myself, but I grew up making it a lot for my family.
it’s so easy! really! try it lori.
Holy yum!!! I’m all about that minute brown rice, too. Same thing ;D
Brittany @ GOtheXtraMile recently posted..Valslide Video
oh yes, saved by minute rice! p.s. got your healthy bites ready to ship monday or tuesday!!!
Oh, that looks yummy! I wonder if I could get my kids to eat it…
MCM Mama recently posted..If all else fails, run hills!
I think you should tell them it’s just bean enchilada first. hehe.
YUM!! That looks delicious. I can’t wait to try it. Also, thank you so much for my healthy bites. I literally had to hide them in the freezer so I won’t finish them off in one day. Delicious!!
Christine @ Love, Life, Surf recently posted..WAX Magazine
oh i am so excited!! thank you for ordering and i can’t wait to see how you use them.
well these just sound absolutely delish! LOVE salmon. would never have thought to put the in enchiladas!
Lindsay @ The Lean Green Bean recently posted..Fitness Friday 25
its just so savory with the blackbeans and all. OH GOODNESS!
Happy Moving- sending you two lots of good moving vibes & wish I could be there to help!
love it.
p.s. love the flashback! I remember the days of “borrowing” the hubs blog
Bre recently posted..don’t wait…
i wish you were too. Sadie needs some love!
Tons of luck to you for the move this weekend!!!! Hope it goes safe and soundly! Oh yum, these enchiladas look delicious!
Lisa recently posted..Friday Fitness
i’m gonna need a lot of luck. It’s already hot! haha. Happy weekend friend.
Hmm… maybe I’ll have to go back and check out what you were feeding James to keep him fit and healthy! I love hate cooking–I hate all the prep and all the clean up–If I’m going to reallllly cook it’s got to be for a lot of food at once. I’ve been doing a lot or natural chicken or lamb sausage from Whole Foods, plus a few chicken tenders all done on the foreman. What takes me forever are the side dishes! I guess that’s what I get for going through the hassle of squash fries every night.
Recipe looks great!
Chuck recently posted..2012 Long Course Duathlon Nationals Race Reports
oh my gosh, i hate cleaning the Foreman!! I’d use a stove anyday. Sides are hard. My recommendation… steam in microwave or cook sweet potato in microwave then add some coconut butter. mmm, yum.
You’re such a good lil wifey
Good luck with the move… argh I feel your pain!!
Lou recently posted..a change of pace…nice smells for the win
i’d bribe you just to come help me right now. ha, like you need a bribe. It’s warm here and you’d get free food from me. VEGAN! love ya!
This looks great! I’ve never had salmon enchiladas before!
Sam @ Fit for My Fork recently posted..A Challenging Contest from SlimKicker – Win a digital scale!
it really makes it savory, with the blackbeans of course. and sometimes i use goat cheese!
Totally draw a blank on a flashback recipe…Brain is FRIED! Thank you so so so much for the “Healthy Bites”! I cannot wait to chow down on these bad boys halfway through my run. Took 3 for a mixed combo. YUMMY! Happy Weekend! xoxo

have a great run and keep me posted!!
Oh man, I used to be all about the elaborate recipes – at least a couple times a week. My favorites were homemade chicken pot pie casserole and Butternut Squash Ravioli with brown butter goat cheese sauce (ALL from scratch!!)
I just don’t have time for that anymore, so I’m like you – throw some veggies and some protein in a bowl, smother in sauce and spice and call it dinner. Let’s just say that the microwave isn’t going unused.
Katie recently posted..Book review: forever….
sheesh you read my mind, what’s new?
awesome idea!! and know what you mean about looking back at old recipes…oh the pictures. there are so many old recipes we plan to remake, one day
Pure2raw twins recently posted..cherish your mornings
i ordered foods of april’s e-book of recipes and re-discovered all her older recipes that i loved and forgot about! but, i have to say, that my favorite flashback recipe is japanese comfort food that my mom used to make – takes me back to childhood!

kalli recently posted..Gearing Up
sometimes simple is just better, yes? So happy about your PR by the way!
I love rediscovering old recipes!
This one looks amazing! I hope packing and moving goes well!!
Brittany @ Delights and Delectables recently posted..Friday Happenings and Our Beach House
half way there. EEK! Hope you are feeling better. <3
I love your recipes. That looks so good! I really hope my hubby never stumbles across your blog because he’ll be so jealous of all of the cooking you do! LOL
Jan recently posted..Polo Town and Country Days 5K
haha, well maybe one day we can all have dinner together. I’ll cook.
I made enchiladas for the first time ever last night! They were so delicious! I might have to use this recipe though because I ended up buying a sauce from Williams & Sonoma because I had NO idea how to make them and as soon as I saw the sauce I knew I had to get home and make them! haha
Good luck with the move!
Siobhan @ SiobhanMcCarthy.ca recently posted..Season 9, Zodiac Time.
oh my gosh that sauce from WS is awesome! definitely a good reason to make enchiladas!!
Hi friend! Hope the move went well this weekend! Love the recipe.
so good to hear from you! hope all is well. Whatcha making these days?
I usually make one recipe but never repeat it. I have a few fallback meals I like, but they wouldn’t really count as “recipes” unless you consider fried eggs a recipe.
sophia recently posted..Local
i haven’t made this recipe since. I should though, or something like it. And yes, fried eggs count. I bet you make some fabulous fried eggs. mmm, sounds good or breakfast.
p.s.
I owe you an email.
I need you to live with me.
Miz recently posted..Thirty days till 43.

Oooh, I could totally make this with my Daiya cheese : ) I just had some yummy blackened salmon last night with a peach glaze, yum! I am hooked on salmon for sure : )
I am so glad you are blessing my life and others with encouragement and healthy recipes and ideas. I know James appreciates the hard working, caring wife he has in you. Thanks Lindsay!
