Black Bean Enchiladas
Black Bean Enchiladas are corn tortillas rolled around a seasoned black bean and green chile filling, topped with enchilada sauce and melted Monterey Jack cheese. The enchiladas bake until the cheese is bubbly, creating a comforting texture contrast between the soft filling and the saucy exterior. Garnished with fresh cilantro, green onion, avocado, and queso fresco, these enchiladas make a satisfying vegetarian main dish.
