Black Bean & Rice Enchiladas (Inexpensive Vegetarian Cuisine image

I found this recipe in the "Healthy Bites" publication in my local Weis grocery store and I am posting for safe keeping. It was featured in the "Serve Up Savings" section of the magazine. You could probably add taco meat to make this a carnivorous dish.

I'm allergic to black beans, so I substituted pinto beans. The enchiladas were still delicious!

These enchiladas were a bit too spicy for my taste, but they were still good. Next time I'll use less chili powder.
