I made this last night in a bid to use up some bell peppers that were turning the corner. I agree with the reviewer that said it "lacked something" even with the seasoning prescribed--I took a bite or two of the mixture when it was finished and thought it was good, but not great. Since I had a little extra time, I went ahead and used it as filling in enchiladas instead--and they were WONDERFUL. I actually prefer them to the chicken/black bean enchiladas I usually make. I used "The Best Enchilada Sauce" recipe from GimmeSomeOven and about 1/3 a cup of cheese in each enchilada with this mixture. It was heavenly and I'm glad to have a veggie enchilada recipe that I like now!

This was very good. I added plenty of seasoning but we still felt like it was missing something. We added some cilantro and that helped a bit. To keep it vegan I served with diced avocado instead of the sour cream. It was served one day with tortilla chips and the next rolled in a tortilla. Thanks for a quick & easy meal!!

Wow! This was fantastic! I made it for PAC 2009, and served it with chicken enchiladas. It had such a good flavor, my husband and I both ate until we nearly popped. So, so tasty, and light, and fresh, and just a perfect summer side dish. I did increase the spices just a bit for my family's taste, but other than that, I followed it as written. This would also be good mixed with some scrambled eggs and cheese and rolled up in a tortilla to make a breakfast burrito. This one's a winner in our house, and we'll be making it again for sure! Thanks, Sameveel!
