Sausage & Bean enchiladas

so what is more comforting then enchiladas?...wait i know, eating sausage & bean enchiladas smothered with sour cream, avocado & fresh tomatoes all in the comfort of your favorite chair or couch IN the family room, watching a movie, YES that makes the crazy busy week seem to melt away. LOVE LOVE Friday nights. When the kids were little friday nights were always movie night and "eat in the family room" why is it so fun to watch TV and eat in the family room? its a great way to unwind i guess, my family would do this every night but I'm kind of a stickler for sitting down at the table for dinner, If we ate in the family room every night then it would not be a treat to do so on friday nights....right? RIGHT :) 
Now that the kids are older we don't always watch a movie together, with a 14 and a 18 year old trying to find a movie that everyone enjoys can be a bit challenging, but it does happen on occasion. 

I Love to use these big gigantic 12" flour tortillas, the only place I can find these are at GFS (Gordon Food) I go to the one in Bradenton, but there is one is coming to Sarasota..YAY!

Found these beans, PERFECT!! You could use refried bean instead but these were great.

I spread some cream cheese (about 1 Tbs ) on each tortilla before I added the meat & cheese, just for some extra creaminess & yumminess!

Must haves for Enchilada night!

SO Yummy, I only have one picture of the finished product, my son was standing next to me with fork in hand as i was taking pictures just waiting to get his hands on his dinner. 
He is the better photographer but if he is hungry...forget it he just wants to eat.

There are so many variations you could do with this recipe, you could use ground beef or chicken instead of sausage, you could skip the whole cream cheese thing, you could use wheat or corn tortillas....so be creative and make it your own, but i do have to say these were fit for a king.....i mean a mennonite :)


RECIPE:
1# Sausage, browned & crumbled
1 can beans, could use refried beans if preferred
1/2 onion
