Black Bean & Corn Enchiladas
More than any other type of cuisine, I must admit I adore Mexican inspired dishes. Perhaps in a previous life I was a Latin woman or this may all be thanks to a dear friend of mine, who happens to be part Mexican. Either way, it's a win win situation. I first discovered this recipe in the coveted Dietitians of Canada Cook! cookbook. I love that it's a meatless dish and nicely pairs black beans and cheese, without it being too heavy. It's also super easy to adapt. I've added a variety of other vegetables that I have on hand like diced zucchini or left over sweet potato cubes. Give the recipe a try and don't forget to leave a comment!
Espero que tengas un buen día.
I paired this dish with a simple guacamole and a side of corn tortilla chips proudly made in Manitoba (courtesy of La Cocina Foods). When time permits, it's also very nice with a fresh salsa and chopped cilantro.
