Skinny Avocado + Black Bean Enchiladas

AvocadoBBEnchiladas
Make your Meatless Monday a Mexican feast! I absolutely love these Skinny Avocado + Black Bean Enchiladas! Starting with my Black Bean + Corn Salsa as the base for this dish makes for a quick and easy vegetarian meal that will leave the whole family wanting more! The heat of the red onion and green chilies is perfectly balanced by the cool avocado. I promise, you won’t be waiting for a Monday to make this dish!
