I always have canned beans on hand and my new favorite is the tri bean blend that is now available containing a mixture of Kidney, Pinto and Black Beans. If you can't find this tri bean blend you can make your own or just use your favorite bean to make these burritos.
The corn salsa would be great on other types of burritos as well or on grilled chicken or pork. Heck we ate the leftovers on tortilla chips with our Margaritas and loved it.
Yield: 4 Enchiladas
