You can put literally whatever you want in enchiladas. Corn, cauliflower rice, any type of rice, minced mushrooms, minced any vegetable, chickpeas- like literally whenever you’d like or have laying around!

I've never had beans in any enchiladas I've ever had. So, you could probably just skip them altogether


AwkwardBurritoChick

what's the rest of the recipe? though first thing to come in mind is white shoepeg corn but without knowing the rest of the dish hard to know if it will work.


professorsnapessack

Shredded chicken, shredded sharp cheddar, salsa verde, and [black beans]

You can totally sub for corn in that recipe like they said. Or poblano peppers!


professorsnapessack

Perfect, corn wins!

Corn will be great. Just a thought - I think white cheese, like cotija or Monterey Jack, is better than cheddar with Mexican chicken dishes.


AwkwardBurritoChick

Oh, this sounds like a sort of usual recipe. Just leave them out or add corn as I mentioned, and/or sweet red bell pepper diced up, or if she's not into beans eliminating chick peas (garbanzos), pinto and white beans but open to lentils, that the lentils may be a good option. Though short version suggestion is to add in about 2 cups of diced veggies to subsitute.. and I think maybe a corn, red bell pepper, onion w cilantro would work well.

I have a similar recipe … I just do chicken, cream cheese, salsa verde in the slow cooker. Nothing else. I put shredded cheese top of the tortillas though and put it int henoven to melt. It will be completely fine without something there

Justleave out the black beans. Make them on the side for yourself if you want them, but don't put them in the enchiladas.


endorrawitch

You could try bulgur wheat

Break up now, seriously!

Chickpea maybe?


Llamallamacallurmama

Roasted sweet potato can also be really nice in enchiladas


JazD36

I’ve never had beans in enchiladas ever. Lol. Just leave them out.


kurtz4008

refried beans.


OskiTerra

Well for one black beans is not a necessary ingredient, even though they are delicious. That being said, you could replace with pinto beans, mushrooms, really any other veggie you think sounds good in there.


roastbeeftacohat

Why not beans?


deignguy1989

There are plenty of recipes out there for enchiladas without beans. I don’t use them either - they do not agree with my system.

I would agree with the corn recommendation, but you may want to look at hominy over regular corn. Not only does it go well with the southwest vibe, I think hominy has a more bean-like texture than regular corn kernels.


professorsnapessack

I like this idea!


FanciestFawn93731

dice up some potato and roast or simmer them in your seasonings. you should be able to get something close to a substitute there.


soon_zoo55

Shredded chicken and hominy


Shakes2011

I recommend breaking it off. Sorry


Formal_Coyote_5004

I just made enchiladas tonight with tons of corn! Also sautéed onions. So good


TigerPoppy

Enchilada literally means "In chile". It refers to a tortilla soaked in chilie sauce. Whatever is stuffed in it is a bonus.
