Awesome Meals for Under $10 Enchilladas for four

 Hello again. Welcome to another fun week of good eats at affordable costs. I hope you like Mexican food because, this week, I made green sauce enchiladas.
 I did all of my shopping at Safeway this time. Wal-Mart sometimes offers even better pricing, but I personally feel that Safeway has better product.
Ingredients:
Yellow Onion . . . . . $.69/lb  We use one onion which is about half a pound. You will spend $.35
Green Bell pepper. . . $.89each We use one.
Green Enchilada Sauce. . .$1.19 for a 28oz can, Las Palmas brand, on sale. We use one can.
Corn Tortillas . . . . .  . .$1.49 for an 18 pack, Safeway brand, on sale, ($1.99 for flour tortillas).  We use 12.
Cheese. . . . . . . . . . . .$4.99 for a one pound block, Lucerne brand. We use 4 cups.
Re fried Beans. . . . . . . . $1.00 for a 16 oz can, Safeway brand. We use one can.

1. Preheat the oven to 335 degrees
2. Chop the onion and bell pepper into a small dice. (1/4x1/4x1/4)
3. Heat a saute pan on medium high heat. Once the pan is warmed up add enough oil to coat it.
4. Toss in your chopped onion and pepper. While peppers heat, grate your cheese.
5. Once the cheese is grated, add your can of re fried beans to the onion/pepper mix. I also like to add salt, pepper and garlic powder here. This is optional upon taste. Also if you like it spicy you can cut jalapeno peppers and/or serrano peppers and add them to the onion/pepper mix from step 2.
6. Once the peppers and onion are cooked aldente, about 10 min, remove from heat. Get out a baking dish.
7. Warm your corn tortillas in the oven for about 30 seconds. This makes them easier to handle.
8. Open your can of enchilada sauce. Pour some on the bottom of your baking dish and some on a separate plate.
9. Remove the tortillas. I use corn and flour tortillas. You can use whatever suites your taste. Take one and dip it in the sauce that is on the separate plate. Turn it and dip the other side in the sauce.
10. Fill your tortillas with some of the bean and onion/pepper mix and a handful of cheese. Place them in the baking dish. Repeat this step until all 12 tortillas are filled.
11. Pour excess sauce over tortillas then excess cheese over the top.
12. Bake for 15 min.

This is a great meal for a small family. You can get the kids involved and have some messy fun in the kitchen together. Have fun and enjoy!
