2. add black beans to skillet and season the mixture to taste with cumin, garlic salt and pepper. add spanish rice when done. mix well.
3. fill flour tortillas with a generous helping of filling and place in a 13x9" glass baking dish. spoon enchilada sauce over the top then top with desired amount of cheese. bake at 350 for 30 minutes.
