In reply to andy. I am so glad to hear that, Andy. I'm a big fan of cooking with what you have on hand and playing around with flavors and textures. Happy New Year!

Hey there Lori!
It’s been a couple years since the last comment here, but I wanted to add that you helped validate my invention of the evening…just made enchiladas but didn’t feel so inspired with the cumin-heavy mexican flavors (been getting into Italian cooking more lately), so I simply tortillas around the meat/bean mixture and covered with Italian pasta sauce and seasonings, and presto (to use an Italian word!), a whole new path to explore with Mexican form but not Mexican contents!

The Italian style is nice and light when one isn’t up for the wonderful dark cumin etc of our southern neighbors…

I also have been playing around with re-defining what the layers of a lasagne can be…another form that is flexible for different fillings and even sneaking in different quisines…

So, just wanted to write that I really appreciate your “outside the box” thinking. Even the picture of your bench at your kitchen table! Brilliant and refreshing way to redefine the dining room table: cozier and more practical too, I think! My wife and I are now looking for a bench! 🙂

From Sweden,
Andy

In reply to gary fox. Awesome, I'm so glad you liked it! I think the filling can be changed up for whatever you want to put in there. I think I only used artichokes because I had a can of them open. I was basically clearing out the fridge with this recipe :)

In reply to gary fox. I think we ate them with a mixed green salad with balsamic vinaigrette :)

Thanks Kira. Pretty sure actual Italians and Mexicans would cringe at this recipe, but oh well. It’s just for fun 🙂

Good idea! It is nice to be able to meet the needs of what each family wants for dinner! Now there is both – italian and Mexican!
