"Want a shortcut with more flavors? Try our VIVA LA SPICE seasoning to substitute chili powder, smoked paprika and ground cumin. There are dozens of different ways to fill enchiladas – our version skips out on the meat and instead uses black beans and a smoky tomato sauce. You can easily double the recipe for the whole family to enjoy some Mexican comfort food! For a more authentic take, use corn tortillas in place of the flour ones and feel free to adjust the spice levels according to your liking."
