Black Bean & Rice Enchiladas (Inexpensive Vegetarian Cuisine image

I found this recipe in the "Healthy Bites" publication in my local Weis grocery store and I am posting for safe keeping. It was featured in the "Serve Up Savings" section of the magazine. You could probably add taco meat to make this a carnivorous dish.

These enchiladas were a bit too spicy for my taste. I would recommend using less chili powder next time.

These enchiladas were a great way to use up leftover black beans and rice. They were also a hit with my kids, who loved the avocado cream sauce.

I wasn't a fan of the avocado cream sauce. I thought it was too rich and creamy. I would probably omit it next time.

I thought the flavor of these enchiladas was a bit bland. I ended up adding some extra spices to give them a little more kick.
