I created this recipe one night when we were in the mood for enchiladas but didn't want the fat and calories of the traditional ones. I used ingredients I had on hand that day, and now this recipe's a family favorite! —Nicole Barnett, Northville, Michigan

Black Bean and Corn Enchiladas Tips

How can you make black bean and corn enchiladas vegan or gluten-free?

This recipe can easily be adapted to vegan or gluten-free lifestyles. To make these black bean and corn enchiladas gluten-free, simply switch out the flour tortillas for corn tortillas. To be extra safe, check the taco seasoning packet and enchilada sauce to look out for hidden ingredients that could contain gluten. To make this recipe vegan, swap in your favorite vegan cheese.

How can you prevent the tortillas from falling apart?

If your tortillas are a little stiff, throw them in the microwave for a few seconds to heat them up. They’ll be slightly more pliable and easier to work with, and will be less likely to break when you're rolling them up.

How do you store black bean and corn enchiladas?

These enchiladas will last for 3-4 days well wrapped in the fridge. However, they taste best fresh, as the tortillas will soften the longer you store them. Here’s our great guide to how long your leftovers actually last.
