Enchilada Pasta


I love anything that is remotely associated with Mexican food. I love Mexican spices and I love cheese.. perfect combination. I have had this recipe tucked away in my book for a long time and finally tried it last night: Yum! It has earned it's keep on the recipe blog.


Ingredients

1 12-oz package jumbo shell macaoni
2 large red peppers
1 onion
1 can green chilies
1 can refried beans
3 Tb. taco seasoning
1 small can enchilada sauce
Grated Mexican Cheese
green oinions
corn chips

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cook pasta according to package directions.

While pasta is cooking, chop up peppers and onion and cook in skillet with a small amount of olive oil until tender. Stir in chilies, refried beans and taco seasoning and half of the enchilada sauce.

Once pasta is cooked, stir it into refried bean mixture along with a handful of grated cheese. Mix well and pour into a 9X13 inch baking dish coated with cooking spray. Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the top, crush corn chips to sprinkle on top of that. Cover the entire thing with a bit more cheese and your green onions.

Bake until cheese on top is melted and slightly crispy on the edges.
