I just made a batch of enchilada beans and cabbage slaw. The beans and slaw are delicious. To be honest, my experience with cole slaw has been sweet, dripping, and mayonnaise. Bleh.

My kiddo recently had her college triathlon team stay at our house and I made so many of your pasta recipes before the race. Everything was devoured and the team said it was amazing. 💕

I feel the same way about mayo-based coleslaws. No thank you lol

I’m so glad they liked the pastas. You did all the hard work though ❤️

Could I sub 4 guajillo chilies instead of 2 or each? It’s all I could find! Thinking it would work but I’m new to using the dried chiles.

Absolutely!

These are delish. I mixed leftovers with pasta and a little extra diced canned tomatoes for dinner during the week. The typo was a test to see if we were paying attention and reading through the whole recipe not just winging it as we go as I am known to do.

It's really yummy, I added thinly sliced radishes on top too. Perfection!!

This sounds delicious! Are the guajillo and ancho chiles spicy?

Expand full comment

no, they are smoky and sweet. if you sub in the california chiles, those are spicy. most brands of dried chiles will give some sort of heat guide on the package, just check closely!

The dried chilies are a game changer. I started using them regularly a couple years ago. Once you work the process into your routine it really doesn't add much time and the flavors are definitely turned up a notch.

Any tips on where to look for dried chilies? I don’t think my regular grocery store has them.

sometimes they stick them on weird end caps near the produce instead of by the spices. still can't find them? a hispanic market will have them for sure. none in your area? Melissa's Produce is great and ships! https://www.melissas.com/collections/dried-chiles

Wowie zowie, this looks amazing. Can’t beat the feeling of not knowing wtf to make for dinner then coming across a recipe like this and discovering that I can make it work without buying a single thing. More bean-focused recipes, please?! Love them. I have made the Bad Manners Pumpkin Chili an embarrassing number of times…

In the last paragraph I think you meant, stick it back in the oven for 10 more minutes, not the fridge. 😁

I’m fixing it now after I walk into the ocean out of embarrassment

I smiled when I read the typo and just crossed it off my printed version. Michelle you are HUMAN, HURRAY! 😀

This is absolutely on point - I just made a big pot of rice with the aim of having rice and beans for lunch every day this week, with different beans. Then making bean enchiladas or tacos or burritos of whatever the fuck ever for dinner. :)

Looks like a great recipe, can’t wait to try it. Just want to verify the comment about sticking it back in the fridge? Was that supposed to be oven?

Yes, this is absolutely the weirdest typo of my life! How? Why? No idea why I wrote fridge and then never caught it. Lord. I’m changing it now in the online version so if you want an updated pdf, just go to page in substack.
