    Great recipe. Even the toddler at the table gobbled it up. The beans, pineapple and cilantro are an interesting combo. I used less green chilies but I will probably use the whole can next time. Thanks.

    Wow! My boyfriend and I love food that some may find unusual and we've recently decided to try eating less meat. Well, this accomplishes both! I took others suggestions and added some spices and used hot enchilada sauce instead of mild, ('cause we like stuff HOT) but with the hotter sauce, the spices really weren't necessary . Otherwise I followed the recipe exactly. No need to add or subtract anything! Will definitely make again and again!

    These are really good meatless enchiladas. The flavor combo works well; however, I realized as I was making the filling that the filling was rather bland. I added some garlic, cumin and a bit of cayenne pepper. I also think perhaps less pineapple and more black beans would be good. Thanx for sharing this recipe with us. I'll make these again.
