HEALTHY BLACK BEAN ENCHILADAS



Healthy Black Bean Enchiladas image

I always loved enchiladas and played around with this to make it healthy. It's super yummy and very versatile - you can mix it up to your taste. You can make it a day or two in advance and then just pop it in the oven, so it's become my favorite dish to make for new parents. One time saver is you can just substitute a box of mexican-style rice for the rice and seasonings - it will still be great. You can also add more or less cheese to taste.

BEEF AND BLACK BEAN ENCHILADAS



Beef and Black Bean Enchiladas image

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.
