  • 1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup corn kernels

After you have enjoyed your enchiladas, please visit TerraCycle and join in their mission to outsmart waste. TerraCycle has partnered with Mission Foods to collect the usually non-recyclable wrappers from tortillas, chips, and other food products and, indeed, recycle them. These food wrappers can be turned into backpacks, plant grow kits and mini speakers (and a whole lot more!). School and community groups can join the "Brigade" and earn 2 cents per item for the charity of their choice!
