Meatless Monday
Mexican Stuffed Baked Potato
Ingredients
I love to make the family meatless meals on Mondays. They are not the biggest fans. But in my opinion we rely too much on meat and on Mondays it’s my day to let food shine without it. It’s not a sentence it’s a day to say let’s do less meat on Mondays. That then becomes the struggle of what to make. The mexican dip that goes over the baked potato is a dip that I make and we sometimes just eat it with chips and that has been our meatless Monday meal. The other night I wasn’t sure what I wanted to make. I was having flashbacks to when I was in middle school and they had baked potato bar at school. I loved baked potato bar. So I quickly threw this together. the potatoes baked in the oven and 20 minutes before they were done I threw the mexican dip together. It was so good! Check out the recipes and pics below.

I pinned this wonderful sounding meatless Monday meal! Thank you for sharing. I do an odd take on a spinach enchilada that we are just crazy for. My family is like yours when they hear it is a meatless meal they are none to thrilled. This recipe satisfies them though.
I use a package of frozen spinach thawed and wrung out so no water is left. a 16 ounce tub of ricotta cheese, 1 pack of shredded cheddar or any shredded cheese you like. I have used the 3 cheese Italian blend as well as the 3 cheese Mexican blend. a small can of black sliced olives, one onion & a clove of garlic diced & sauteed along with a 12 ounce pack of mushrooms. just before the onions turn clear add in your drained can of olives and your free of water spinach. Dump in a pack of fajita or taco seasoning packet or if you make your own seasoning you need about 1/4 Cup. after the spinach is heated through and your onions are clear remove pan from the heat . Add in your ricotta and 1/2 the package of your desired shredded cheese. Stir it all together. Take this mixture & fill 10 flour tortillas with it. wrap them up and place the filled flour tortillas SEAM SIDE DOWN in a lightly greased baking dish . Cover the filled tortillas with a 16 ounce can or enchilada sauce then top with your remaining shredded cheese. Bake at 375 degrees for about 20 minutes until the cheese on top is melted & a little brown. Serve immediately. I serve Spanish rice & refried beans on the side. The mixture that is on the inside of the tortillas also makes a wonderful dip! Also on days that my family wants meat I have added bacon and or chicken breast that I season with taco or fajita seasoning & bake or fry. I have not tried it with beef but I sure it would be good too. I know the ricotta is an odd addition to a Spanish type dish but it is wonderful. I hope you try it out and enjoy it as much as we do.
This dish really looks and sounds delicious! I’ll have to try it at home with my family!
