Favorite Recipes from the February Cook

After cooking 14-15 recipes that you've selected, invariably, some of them call out from the freezer, and you're sad when they are gone.  Here are our favorite recipes from our February cook:

1) Enfrijoladas (https://www.budgetbytes.com/enfrijoladas-tortillas-in-black-bean-sauce/)



These are a winner!  They were a little fussy to assemble...you need to blend a thick black bean mixture in a good blender, and you need to put these in a dish.  The step that asks you to coat both sides of the tortilla in the black bean puree is necessary!  We added extra chipotle to the black bean puree, as well as a little chicken (leftover from another recipe) into the inside of each enfrijolada.   The black bean mixture is very much comfort food, and the raw cilantro/onion mixture provides a nice brightness.  These reheat easily.  We'll definitely make them again.


2) Korean Noodle Stir Fry (https://www.gimmesomeoven.com/japchae-korean-noodle-stir-fry/)


This was one of the those recipes, that while making it, you are HOPING it will reheat well.  We were worried about the sweet potato noodles, but they reheat great!  The sweet potato noodles are VERY long, so the package advises cutting them with a pair of scissors once cooked (great advice).  This sauce is super flavorful...bright, spicy, and salty.  Great combo of beef and veggies.  I was always looking for this one in the freezer!
