Any suggestions on what to serve with enchiladas other than rice and beans?
I'm thinking about making chicken enchiladas as well as a vegetarian black bean enchilada and I want a side or two and maybe a salsa. I'm feeding 3 people, one of which is a guy who doesn't really care for gourmet food =) Any dessert ideas?
Thanks!

I think this would complement the enchiladas. You might tweak it a bit with citrus for the wine vinegar, cilantro, poppy seed optional... It has the crunch and clean taste to complement a baked and sauced dish.

I also do love a mildly sweet corn pudding made with masa, but that's more on the heavy side....

We also frequently have Fine Cooking's Cocoa Snack Cake with Ganache for dessert with Mexican meals. You can find it on their website.

For dessert, how about a refreshing sorbet or ice cream recipe...there are many found here on Food52!
PS - black bean enchiladas sound delicious
I have never had this particular recipe, but it's use of cactus sounds interesting:

Personally, I like to saute a variety of julienned peppers and onions for a simple, yet delicious side!

As for dessert you could make flan, tres leches, or churros.
