Vegetarian Spinach & Three Bean Enchiladas recipe « Running in a Skirt (2024)

How about a healthier twist on Mexican food? My Vegetarian Three Bean Enchiladas recipe is the perfect meal!

Hi guys!

I told you how much I love Mexican food right? I seriously can’t resist burritos, quesadillas, and enchiladas. It’s my vice. Just talking about it makes me want to go to the closest Mexican food dive restaurant.

Eating out at traditional Mexican restaurants is great, but it isn't always the best for you. I'm all about balance and enjoying food without guilt, but I know I can't actually eat like that all the time and feel good. That's where my homemade and healthier Mexican food comes in! This homemade vegetarian Three Bean Enchiladas recipe tastes super delicious, and it actually has all sorts of nutrients and protein from spinach and beans! This is actually one of the first recipes I posted on my site and I recently tweaked it and gave a makeover with some pretty new photos. It's a classic in my house!

Now, this pretty pan of myhomemade vegetarian Three Bean Enchiladas recipe might look tricky to pull off, but it's not!

All you do is saute onion and garlic in a pan. Next, you add three different types of canned bean, tomatoes, spices and then loads of fresh spinach. The filling mixture is spiced to perfection and is very good for you.

The only tricky part is rolling the enchiladas... but all you do is add less than a cup of filling to the whole wheat tortilla. Next you carfully fold the edges and place it seam side down in the pan.

When you stack them all together they stay put. The topping is a simple shortcut-- your favorite premade enchiladas sauce and a nice dose of Mexican cheese.

This homemade vegetarian Three Bean Enchiladas recipe is then baked to perfection. I topped mine with fresh tomato, cilantro and plain greek yogurt.

Thishomemade vegetarian Three Bean Enchiladas recipe is a very filling and satisfying vegetarian meal and something you feel good eating.

You can even customize this recipe to your own taste by choosing the types of beans you like! If you are just a black bean fan... just do three can of that! You could also sub a can of chickpeas for one of the other picks.

You can also freeze them and serve them later if you happen to be busy with two babies 🙂 ... or just life in general.

Thishomemade vegetarian Three Bean Enchiladas recipe is a perfect meal for in between those all out chips and salsa binges. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. As always I'd love to hear what you think in the comments below!
