    How to Make Vegetarian Enchiladas with Black Beans

    You don't need much motivation to make Vegetarian Enchiladas. Black beans serve as the 'meat', so rather than being cooked, they simply need to be heated through. This meal comes together in minutes.

    I do saute the onions briefly to soften them, prior to adding beans and corn. The beans and corn will be heated through in a minute or two, then shut off the heat and add the sauce and cheese. You don't want to cook the cheese, just let the residual heat melt it.

    Vegetarian Enchiladas recipe

    8 large flour tortillas should perfectly fit in a 9x13" baking pan, like what you use to make lasagna.

    If you prefer more traditional enchiladas. I also have an Easy Chicken Enchiladas recipe that is a family favorite. The secret is using a rotisserie chicken!
