leftover chunk of crockpot roast beef, shredded (1 1/2 to 2 cups), and its juices (1 cup)
1 green chile from can, diced finely
1/2 to 3/4 of a small onion, grated (depending on how big your leftover beef is)
1 packet taco seasoning
8 corn tortillas
1 can red enchilada sauce (we use “hot” here in these parts)
1/3 c. mexican or cheddar shredded cheese
fresh ground pepper
1 can black beans, drained and rinsed. (I usually do progresso and don’t use quite the whole thing)
Preheat oven to 350.
Drop meat, chile, onion, taco seasoning and juice into nonstick pan and saute until thickened and hot, stirring frequently.
Dampen 4 paper towels and then ring them out and wrap the stack of tortillas in them. Microwave for about 90 seconds or until soft and pliable.
Pour some enchilada sauce into a 9×13 baking dish, enough to cover the bottom to keep the enchiladas from sticking. Fill each tortilla with beef and beans and roll. When you’ve filled the dish, pour the rest of the enchilada sauce over the rolls and sprinkle the cheese on top. Spray cooking spray onto a piece of aluminum foil and then cover the baking sheet with the foil.
Bake for 30 minutes. Serve with sour cream, if desired.

About this blog
It all started as a New Year's resolution for 2009. I wanted to start trying menu planning, a concept that I had stumbled across while looking for dinner ideas online. I dove into it with energy and unlike most diets, saw success immediately. The success only made me more interested in how I could improve, what new recipes I could find, etc. I started using my family blog for menu planning posts and it kind of started to take over. So, I decided to give my culinary fumblings their own home- and mygrandcentralkitchen.com was born.
Why "my grand central kitchen?" Well, I have 2 kids that are about 20 months apart. I have a husband who works from home. Cooking is a hobby for me. So you could say that aside from the playroom, the kitchen is the busiest room in my house and usually looks it. ;) It feels a bit like Grand Central Station, especially between 4 and 7 pm.
I hope that this blog gives me even more inspiration for my own home and the ability to inspire others in the kitchen, as well. I'll be posting not just menu planning and recipe links, but also interesting things I find online, things on my wishlist and recommendations. And who knows where it might go from there. :)
I certainly hope you enjoy the ride.
