Description
Rather than using cheese as an enchilada filling, this recipe uses refried beans. This gives the enchiladas a creamy texture with less saturated fat and more fiber. When you’re buying the beans, look for vegetarian refried beans, as traditional refried beans contain animal fat.

Scale
- 8 corn tortillas
- 1 15oz can black beans, rinsed and drained

- Roll them and place them in an 8×8 baking dish, seam side down.

Notes
To make the assembly of these enchiladas a little easier, wrap the corn tortillas in a damp paper towel and microwave for 30 seconds. This will lightly steam them so you can roll them without them cracking.
