Black Bean and Cheese Enchilada Tips

What other toppings can you put on black bean and cheese enchiladas?

Top your enchiladas with thinly sliced green onions, chopped cilantro, guacamole or pico de gallo. Sprinkle on cotija or chihuahua cheese instead of cheddar. Don’t forget to add sliced limes for a little brightness and acidity. You can also use enchilada sauce instead of picante for a milder option.

What can you serve with black bean and cheese enchiladas?

These enchiladas pair well with plenty of side dishes, such as this Mexican-inspired chicken soup, refried beans, this meatless taco salad or Mexican street corn.

How do you store black bean and cheese enchiladas?

These enchiladas will last in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days. You can also assemble the enchiladas up to the point of baking, wrap the dish tightly with plastic and foil, and freeze for up to 3 months. (Do not sprinkle on cheese until ready to bake.) Let thaw in the refrigerator before baking, or bake from frozen, but add a little extra time to ensure the enchiladas are heated through.
