Vegetarian Black Bean Enchiladas

I was a bit skeptical about these enchiladas, because I dearly loved regular 'ol beef and chicken enchiladas, and I was afraid I'd miss the meat. But they turned out amazing! You honestly don't care that there's no meat in them, they're so delicious!

I recommend making these starting with dry black beans that you prepare yourself - I really think it makes the flavor better, and I will be posting my black bean recipe here later. However, if you need to use canned, that works too, and I'm sure they'll still be yummy!

What You'll Need:

2 Cups of black beans, drained and rinsed well
1 Cup frozen corn
1 Cup of your choice of salsa
1.5 to 2 cups of fresh baby spinach, chopped
Small yellow onion, diced
2 stalks of green onion, green parts diced
Lg can red enchilada sauce
2 cups monterrey jack or pepper jack cheese, grated
Salt & pepper to taste
Corn tortillas

What To Do With It:

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spray a 9×13 inch pan with non stick spray & set aside.
Combine the chopped fresh spinach, corn, salsa, 1/2 the green onions, 1/2 the cheese, yellow onion, salt, pepper in a medium to large bowl. Stir until ingredients are evenly mixed. Add the black beans and carefully stir so you don't mash the beans up.

Steam the tortillas using a tortilla warmer. If you don’t have a tortilla warmer, place them on a microwave safe plate, on top of wet napkins/paper towels, and then cover with more wet napkins/paper towels and microwave for about 45 seconds, or until tortillas are warm and easy to work with.

Fill each tortilla with a small amount of filling, about 1/4 – 1/3 cup, and roll tortilla up, placing the seam side down in the pan. Repeat process until all tortillas have been filled. Pour enchilada sauce over them, making sure to cover them evenly. Top with remaining shredded cheese.
Cover with foil and bake at 375 degrees F for 20 minutes, or until tortillas are heated through. Garnish with your remaining green onions, and serve hot with sour cream on the side. Best served with Spanish or yellow saffron rice, and refried beans! Enjoy!
