Easy to Make Veggie Enchiladas

These Veggie Enchiladas are perfect for meatless Mondays!

The inspiration came from my Black Bean Salsa. It’s so good I figured why not use it as a filling to enchiladas?

They turned out delicious!

Enchiladas are usually made with corn tortillas, but to keep them low in points, I used Mission Carb Balance flour tortillas.

How to make Veggie Enchiladas:

To a medium bowl add the black beans, corn, cilantro, red pepper, red onion, lime juice, cumin, chili powder and salt. Mix it all together.

Spray a casserole dish with nonstick spray.

Place a tortilla on a work surface and add a heaping 1/4 cup of the black bean mixture to the center. Roll the shell up and add it to the dish seam side down.

Repeat with the remaining ingredients until you have 6 enchiladas.

I bought red enchilada sauce, but you could also use homemade enchilada sauce. Pour 1 cup of sauce over the enchiladas.

Finally, you want to top it with cheese. I used reduced-fat Mexican cheese to help keep it low in points.

Bake the enchiladas for 20-25 minutes or until the cheese is melted.

Top the enchiladas with your favorite ingredients. I like to use sour cream and green onion.
