Refried Bean Enchiladas
Light & Tasty
These yummy meatless bundles are so fast and easy to prepare. The recipe, which came from my sister-in-law, is a favorite for both our families.

TIME: Prep: 20 min. Bake: 20 min.
Ingredients:

* 1 tablespoon olive oil
* 4-1/2 teaspoons all-purpose flour
* 1 tablespoon chili powder
* 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
* 1/4 teaspoon salt
* 1-1/2 cups water

Chicken Enchiladas - chili powder, tortillas, cheese, sour cream, cream of chicken soup.
You could make a bean buritto. Heat up the refried beans and put them in a tortilla. You could also put cheese, tomatos, onions, or salsa with it. Also try making spanish rice (without meat) and use it with the refried beans. Taco shells would also go well.

Make a veggie taco layer salad. Spread the bean and then top with lettuce, tomato and whatever else you want on there and then top with a dollop of salsa and crush some taco shells on top.. Not sure if you eat dairy but if you do, add some sour cream and cheese..
My daughter is a vegetarian and we have used refried-beans to make burritos, enchiladas, tacos, nachos, tostadas, etc.
To vegetarian refried beans add mild green sauce. Add cheese/soy cheese if desired. Make Spanish Rice – Far East and/or Rice-a-Roni makes it in a box, just add tomatoes. Fry corn tortillas and serve like a tostada – add lettuce, tomatoes, cheese/soy cheese to the top. Or make it into a burrito or tacos.
