Black Bean & Sweet Potato Baked Flautas
When I lived out in California I used to frequent a little Mexican chain called Baja Fresh, and they had what I thought were the best flautas ever. Little did I know, these were not the best flautas ever, I just didn’t have much to compare them to at that point. However, once I discovered how much I liked flautas, I started trying them more frequently at Mexican restaurants. This was hard for me, because whenever I went out for Mexican I would always order the same thing: enchiladas with red sauce. It was my staple, my comfort food…I could never go wrong with that red sauce ...

Bean and Potato Enchiladas
People that know me, know that I LOVE Mexican food. I have never met an enchilada I didn't like, and am always trying to come up with different combinations. I think my love for Mexican food grew when I was in college. My freshman/sophomore years I worked during the summer in the best Mexican restaurant ever, Sagebrush Cantina, and got to know the food a little too well. Nachos, enchiladas, tortilla soup, sopapilla, flan, queso, flautas....I am drooling just thinking about it. The staff received a heavy discount on the food, which was prepared by a real ...
