Veggie & Black Bean Enchiladas

Veggie & Black bean Enchillada

We love Mexican inspired food in our house. Give me all the avocado, lime and cilantro! This enchilada bake is super simple to make – I have even been known to whip it up on a weeknight! Added bonus – you can use it for your #meatlessmonday meal, if that is something you try to incorporate into your lifestyle. If not, add a previously cooked protein. Adult tested, kid approved!

2 cups enchilada sauce (homemade or bottled)
12 corn or flour tortillas
15oz. can black beans, drained
