Black Bean & Rice Enchiladas (Inexpensive Vegetarian Cuisine

"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."

  1. I made these for a bunch of college students that I live with. I didn't eat it myself, but I was told that they were good and all of the enchiladas were eaten within two days. Also, this really was an inexpensive meal to make.

The most defining trait in my life is that I am a mother to two wonderful boys (Tyler, 20 and Zayden, 9). I live in the little college town of Selinsgrove, Pennsylvania. It is the most wonderful place to live as it's nestled in the Appalachian Mountains and along the beautiful Susquehanna River. Seeing that we live in Central Pennsylvania, our family is also a bunch of HARDCORE Penn State Nittany Lion fans! We are...PENN STATE! I was lucky enough to be given tickets to see Joe Paterno win his 400th game as the head coach of the football team. I cried like I did when my children were born. The other love of my life is cooking. I didn't really start trying to cook until I was 20, but believe me I have made up for lost time! I absolutely adore baking and I do it whenever I can. I love making Christmas cookies and I have begun hosting our extended families at our home for Thanksgiving and Easter dinners. So far so good. I love food.com because it allows me to expand my culinary skills and my recipe box with ideas from other people like me. There is something for everyone and I have been a loyal member since 2005. I hope you enjoy my recipes and if you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.
