Not bad - but needs some sort of sauce (aside from the tomato) - unless you "really" love tomato. With a few tweaks it could probably be much better.

Delicious! These were really great veggie enchiladas - very filling with the beans. I used corn tortillas. Leftovers reheated wonderfully the next day. Thanks for sharing!
