Corn & Black Bean Shrimp Enchiladas

Still working on simple, flavorful meal that can be on the table in little to no time.  The toughest part of this meal is rolling the enchiladas and waiting for it to bake! These smelled so good while we were waiting that we had just enough time to set the table and  get the condiments out before the enchiladas were baked.

Verdict:

These were a hit! My daughter added a bit of sour cream to the top of hers while my son added some hot sauce. That is the wonderful thing you can tone them down with a bit of sour cream (I thought there was almost no heat but she thought otherwise) or heat them up with your hottest sauces.
