Telluride Black Bean Tortilla Bake

A yummy freezer meal idea.

Ingredients:
1lb ground beef
1/2 cup chopped onion
1-15oz can black beans drained and rinsed
1-16oz can stewed tomatoes (Mexican style)
1/2 cup enchilada sauce
1t chili powder
1t cumin
1/4t pepper
6 flour tortillas, fajita size
3 oz low fat cream cheese softened
1-4oz can diced green chiles, drained
1/2-1 cup shredded Moterey Jack or cheddar cheese

Cooking Day:
Brown ground beef and onion in a large skillet; drain fat. Put stewed tomatoes into a blender (or food processor) and blend just long enough to break up large tomato pieces. Add to skillet with meat. Stir in black beans, enchilada sauce; chili powder, cumin and pepper. Bring to a boil, cover and simmer about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.

Spread one side of tortillas with cream cheese, topping with green chiles. Fold tortillas in half over cream cheese. Pour half the cooled meat sauce into the bottom of a lined 7x11 (I used 9x13) baking dish. Arrange the folded tortillas over sauce, overlapping if necessary. Pour the remaining sauce over the tortillas. Freeze.

Serving Day:
Thaw to a slushy state. Cover dish with foil and bake in 350 degree oven for 20-30 minutes, until heated through. Uncover and sprinkle cheese on top; bake for 5 more minutes or until bubbly.
