Healthy and Filling Pumpkin Enchiladas

Ready for the pumpkin recipes??

I couldn’t hold out any longer.  If you remember last year, I started pumpkin recipes around the same time with Cream Cheese Filled Pumpkin Muffins.

Man, those were so good, but sometimes I want to go back and retake all of my old pictures.  They’re so cruddy!  Thank you guys for sticking with me through those bad times. I feel like Demi Lovato.

I can’t believe I just referenced Demi Lovato.  Forgive me.  I’m just going to get to the recipe now.

These are the bomb.  I know I’ve been telling you all about these healthy recipes with beans in them lately, and it’s kind of hard to believe, so you’ll just have to make it for yourself.  Tasting is believing, right?  Seriously, though, these are amazing.  The serving size is humongous, too, but you won’t even feel bad after you eat the whole thing because it’s so good for you. Make these. Now!
