2 teaspoons dried oregano
6 flour tortillas
2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese, divided
1 cup chopped avocado

VEGETARIAN BEAN ENCHILADAS



Vegetarian Bean Enchiladas image

This is a tasty enchilada recipe that I made up when I stopped eating meat. Not vegan, but a great crowd pleaser. You can substitute different types of beans depending on preference. It is also possible to use just cheese for the topping, but the cream does help with flavor and consistency a lot.

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.
