Spicy Black Bean and Rice Enchiladas are soft tortillas filled with mexican rice and black beans that have been cooked in a yummy Mexican inspired tomato sauce. First you start some Jasmine rice that you cook with some taco seasoning mix. I use my own homemade taco seasoning recipe. You can find it here https://mariasmixingbowl.com/homemade-taco-seasoning/.
Then you cook the black beans with some of the taco seasoning in some olive oil for about 5 minutes.
Then you add in the tomatoes and let simmer for about 10 minutes.
Once the black beans and tomatoes have cooked you mix half of the mixture inthe rice with 1/2 cup sour cream and 1/2 of a squeezed lime. then you start rolling out your Spicy Black Bean and Rice Enchiladas!
Lay your Spicy Black Bean and Rice Enchiladas in a baking dish and cover with the remainder of the bean and tomato mixture and the sprinkle 1/2 cup Monterey jack cheese over the top.
