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.

These enchiladas were a waste of time and ingredients. They were bland, dry, and fell apart when I tried to eat them.

The tortillas were too thick and chewy for my taste. I would recommend using thinner tortillas next time.

I had some trouble rolling the enchiladas, but they still tasted great. I would recommend using a little more filling next time so that they're easier to roll.

These enchiladas were a little too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed them. I would recommend using less chili powder next time.

These enchiladas are a great way to use up leftover black beans. They're also a great option for a Meatless Monday meal.
