"We have adopted Meatless Mondays in our house and I am always on the hunt for recipes that will delight our usual meat-eaters. This is one of those recipes. While I made quite a few substitutions - I used whole wheat tortillas, packaged enchilada sauce and a pre-packaged grain mix (TastyBite Zany Multigrain) - the meal was in the spirit of the original recipe. The result was a super hearty, satisfying tray of good-for-you-but-you-can't-tell goodness." - LoraPYield: 8 Servings Ready in 45 minutes
