Can you please suggest a vegetarian recipe with Mexican food ingredients?

We're entertaining some vegetarian guests and would like some creative recipes using Mexican food ingredients.





Thanks, much appreciated everyone!|||Start off with some fresh cut fruit like mango,pineapple and jicima. Not sure if jicima is a fruit but it sure is good for starters,or with the meal. You can make vegetarian enchiladas. Read the label on cans of enchilada sauce to be sure it is animal-product free, as well as the tortillas, no lard. Bean and cheese enchiladas are so good ! Now they have great varieties of beans in the stores, I like the ones with lime in it. Use that with grated cheddar and diced onion, some brown rice and slices of avacado on the side. This will fill them up for sure! Sherbert or chocolate covered strawberries for dessert.|||My favorite one is "Tommy's Rice and Beans" from epicurious.com. It's a black bean dish. It's good by itself or you can stuff it in a tortilla with some cheese and salsa.|||http://www.latina.com/latina/food/recipe鈥?/a>|||Recipe Ingredients:

2. Wrap tortillas tightly with wax paper and microwave on High until tortillas are warm, approximately 45 seconds to 1 minute. Place 1 heaping tablespoon of vegetable mixture on one end of tortilla and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon cheese.

This is an easy vegetarian enchilada recipe, if your guests are vegan, you could easily substitute the dairy products for soy-based ones.|||don't even bother just invite them into your kitchen

Top with as much or as little cheese as you want. Pop in microwave until all the cheese is bubbly.
