~Black Bean Enchiladas~

This entrée was always a favorite at our restaurant. I like serving it for company meals because it is easy to prepare ahead. The black beans are striking and it is a delicious and satisfying dish.

Whole wheat tortillas (corn can be used)
3 cups of soupy nicely seasoned black beans
4 cups millet prepared the day before (brown rice can be used, or a mixture of the two)
3 onions, diced
4 carrots, grated
green onions, chopped
sesame oil
tamari sauce to taste
soy cheese - optional

Sauté diced onions in sesame oil. When the onions are transparent, add the grated carrots and cook for a couple of minutes. Add the millet, a little at a time, breaking up chunks with a fork that may be stuck together. Stir-fry the mixture until the millet is warmed and fragrant. Add tamari to mixture to taste. Spoon enough mixture on a tortilla to make a fat tortilla and roll up tightly. Repeat until all the mixture has been used. Put in oblong Pyrex baking dish. Pour the black beans on top of the enchiladas. Bake at 350 degrees for 35 minutes. Sprinkle grated soy cheese on mixture, if desired, and top with chopped green onions, and grated soy cheese, if desired.
