Default Favorite enchiladas?

I was having dreams last night of the enchiladas that I used to get at Los
Amigos. They used to be a Mexican restaurant that had a few locations in
this area. I have seen a taco truck listed online and wonder if the same
people might run it. Anyway... They made really good bean enchiladas.
Just refried beans and cheese rolled up, more enchilada sauce on top and
thin slices of green peppers and white onions. Soooo good!

I would sometimes recreate similar for my lunch at work using a frozen bean
burrito. I lived alone so never bought or made enchilada sauce. And I
never bought tortillas in those days. Actually I think there was far less
Mexican food available in the grocery stores here then. So I bought what I
could. I would use some plain tomato sauce and chopped fresh or canned
tomatoes. Whatever I had in the house. Then the peppers and onions.
Heated in the microwave. People used to hover over it asking me what it was
because it looked and smelled so good.

Another favorite that I would make a big pan of was cheese and onion
enchiladas. I no longer have the recipe but it was put out by some onion
website. The sauce was red and made from scratch.

I plan to make the bean ones in a few days. I have some tortillas and sauce
and you know I have beans! Just need to wait until I find some good
peppers. The one that I got from Safeway was oddly anemic but not mushy.
And I think I will need more than one. If memory serves, I used one big
onion and two peppers per pan.
