veggie enchiladas recipe

Healthy eating fact: Kidney beans are a valuable source of protein and fibre – you should aim to have at least 18g of fibre each day. They also contain iron, which helps transport oxygen around the body, and they count towards your five-a-day.
Veggie enchiladas

Ready in: 40 minutes
Serves: 4
Ingredients:
- extra virgin olive oil spray
