On Sunday evening we had White Bean and Avocado Enchiladas. I'd love to link to the original recipe, but it appears the link is no longer working! Good thing I have a great memory. (:
These enchiladas are simple to make and leave you feeling satisfied but not overly stuffed (something I can appreciate). Also, they reheat wonderfully, something we both can attest to as we had them for lunch today!
One thing I will have to say about this recipe is that it makes a lot of servings -- estimated around 12 servings based on the original recipe, but probably about 6-8 with the way I made them. The original recipe didn't specify what size tortillas, so I think we 8" taco flour shells, it makes about 12-servings, but with the 10" ones I used, makes the 6- or 8-servings. Decide based on what you need! Or cut the recipe in half if you don't want a lot of leftovers.
