65 Reviews of Pineapple-Black Bean Enchiladas

I was very hesitant to make this recipe after reading some of the mixed reviews that are posted. Thankfully I decided to just try it and see how it would go. I prepared the bean mixture using Bush's seasoned black beans and a 15 ounce can of pineapple tidbits instead of a 20 ounce can. I added the cilantro, but not the cheese, and sprinkled it with cumin. I then left to our son's karate class for about an hour and a half. *** When I returned I added the cheese and prepared the enchiladas. I used 6" tortillas and the result were 14 enchiladas. ***** These were simply fabulous. They were flavorful and the combined ingredients were perfectly commingled. They were not mushy nor were they too crisp. I baked them for 30 minutes covered and about 15 minutes uncovered. ****** Our six year old RAVED as he ate, and he ate way more then he should have. LOL He begged for me to make it again this week, this weekend and next week. He gladly ate the onions and the red pepper (both are things he usually picks out.) Our adult palates also enjoyed this dish. The enchiladas were delicious and filling. 2 enchiladas were all I could eat, and even though I was full.... I wanted more! I could see this served in a restaurant as a special of the night. ******** For those that thought the bean mixture was bland, make it ahead of time to let the flavors blend. Thanks mrib.

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.

Very good and you don't miss the meat. I agree with Parsley72 - less pineapple and more beans next time. Thanks and congratulations on winning.

I chose this recipe for Pick A Chef. I'm sorry that I couldn't rate this one higher, but my family and I really thought it was missing something. Thanks for sharing the recipe though!

I thought these were very good. I'm not a fan of cilantro so I used fresh parsley instead. I also added 2 tsp chopped garlic, 1 tsp chili powder & 1/8 tsp cayenne and reduced the salt by half. I usually love sour cream but I preferred these without. I liked the sweet/savory combination. Thanks!

Excellent. This was a hit here at our house. My husband wasn't so sure about the pineapple and beans combo but he loved it after trying it. Thanks again for the great recipe.

I thought these were very good — not too sweet, and quite tasty. The cilantro MADE it. Thanks for a recipe I can serve to my vegetarian sister!
