Wine, cheese, tomatoes and black bean enchiladas
I don't have a great deal of new items for the In My Kitchen post this month. A highlight was this cheese. Dorothy's Diggin' Truffles was a treat. We were shopping at Publix and the young lady stocking the cheese section heard us talking about what we might want to pick up. Doug said it would be nice to find a washed rind cheese. She snapped her head up at us and started chatting excitedly about different cheeses.
In the wine department I tried this Malbec, new to me, and liked it.
Prepare rice (I used a short grain) then let cool a bit. Mix one can of black beans and one can of refried black beans together. Place shredded cheddar (or a taco mix sort of cheese) in a bowl. I used a canned enchilada sauce for convenience but of course you could make your own.
We commiserated about not finding any Chaumes cheese in years and so, she decided we were "cool" and wanted to share this Dorothy's truffle cheese with us. She's put it aside for herself but offered it to us if we'd like to try it. What a sweet girl!

An extension of the kitchen is a tiny garden of tomatoes. This one looks like it has promise and it's close to the house so....maybe deer won't destroy this plant as they've done in the past. The squash plant is thriving but I don't want to curse it so, no photos yet.
Last buy not least are these vegetarian enchiladas. It's a simple toss together dinner as long as you don't mind an assembly line of ingredients on your table or counter.
Set up the line of ingredients and open a large sized flour tortilla. Use a large plate and you can have two tortillas open at once for filling. Simply place a bit of enchilada sauce in the bottom of your baking dish. Now spoon a tablespoon or so on the tortilla. Add rice then a layer of black bean mix then cheese. Roll up, place in pan and repeat until you have six in the baking dish. Cover with the remainder of sauce and sprinkle liberally with cheese.
Cover with foil and bake at 400 F for 30 minutes. Remove foil and place back in the oven to let cheese melt a bit more. Serve with avocados, tomatoes and sour cream.
In the past I have added cooked chicken but this time we wanted it without. You can mix it up per your taste. To make vegan you'd replace cheese with a vegan variety.
