BEEF AND BLACK BEAN ENCHILADAS
This was "created" on a day with minimal ingredients in the house. I am more of a fan of ground beef rather than shredded beef but either can be used. Also, my preference for this dish is medium ground beef. I know!! More fat, but the flavor is great!! Again - your choice! I guessed on the ounces of the can of black beans - just the normal size is fine. Easy to modify to your personal taste.
