chorizo enchiladas...the next day

well. we got back from the gym around 6:45...the enchiladas were out of the oven and plated by 7:45PM. i still have to upload pictures. this was my first time cooking with chorizo but here was my reactions to the meal:

• chorizo has a pretty strong, salty, smoky taste that overrides the taste of any subtle/accompanying spices.
• i liked the meal yesterday in the sense that it was an out-of-the-taste-box-recipe for me. i've really been trying to extend the food, ingredients, and tastes that i cook with this year since i felt like the last couple of years i had become so routine and typical. with that being said I'm not sure i would cook chorizo in an enchilada format for the future. i think it would work great for breakfast
• the black beans did not turn out as tasty for me this time around. i think i probably got too fancy with all the spices i added into it. originally i had planned this meal around refried beans so i think that was part of it as well.
• the zuccini, squash, and onions were delicious.
• i think i overcooked the enchiladas because i waited to long to start grilling the veggies. i had them in the oven for about 25 minutes at 375 but could probably have had them in for 15 minutes or so...

i'll post pictures asap.
