My sister found this recipe and wowed us all with it over Mother's Day a few years ago. I LOVE it. Mr. Picky on the other hand, gave it 2 stars- said there were too many pineapples in it.
Ingredients
2 teaspoons vegetable oil
1 large yellow onion, chopped ( about 1 cup)
1 medium red bell pepper, chopped ( about 1 cup)
1 (20 ounce) cans pineapple tidbits, drained
1/3 cup pineapple juice, reserved
1 (15 ounce) can black beans, drained, rinsed
1 (4 1/2 ounce) can chopped green chilies
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
3 cups shredded low-fat cheddar cheese ( 12 oz)
1 (10 ounce) can mild enchilada sauce
8 flour tortillas ( 8 or 9 inch)
1/2 cup reduced-fat sour cream
8 teaspoons chopped fresh cilantro
Directions
Heat oven to 350°F Spray 13x9-inch (3-quart) glass baking dish with cooking spray. In 12-inch nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add onion and bell pepper; cook 4 to 5 minutes or until softened. Stir in pineapple, beans, green chiles and salt. Cook and stir until thoroughly heated. Remove skillet from heat. Stir in 1/2 cup cilantro and 2 cups of the cheese. Spoon and spread 1 tablespoon enchilada sauce onto each tortilla. Spoon about 3/4 cup vegetable mixture over sauce on each. Roll up tortillas; place seam side down in baking dish.
In small bowl, mix reserved 1/3 cup pineapple juice and remaining enchilada sauce; pour over entire surface of enchiladas in dish. Sprinkle with remaining 1 cup cheese. Spray sheet of foil large enough to cover baking dish with cooking spray; place sprayed side down over baking dish and seal tightly.
Bake 35 to 40 minutes, removing foil during last 5 to 10 minutes of baking, until cheese is melted and sauce is bubbly. Top each baked enchilada with 1 tablespoon sour cream and 1 teaspoon cilantro.
High Altitude (3500-6500 ft): Bake 40-45 minutes, removing foil during last 5 - 10 minutes of baking.
A quest to find dishes these boys like, despite their particular palattes. The hope is that what works for one MAY work for the others. And a special thanks to Mama Kris' contributions, as she's had to face this problem on her own for over 25 years- Never fear! The reinforcements are here!

Mama Kris- please pick a photo of your choosing
Sare's hubby goes in waves of obsession: Hates chicken, loves chicken. Loves extra pulp, despises extra pulp. The trick for her is to recognize an approaching crest of foodie interest and then ride it for all it's worth. Surf's up!
Cari thought it would be hard to get her kids to eat their veggies, she had no idea she would have to use trickery to get her husband to eat them. After 4.5 years we've made progress, he gagged down asparagus!
Kat thoguht that as long as she made something that tasted good, her husband would partake of the goodness. Little did she know that once her husband figured out that - yes, that is goat cheese- the meal was no longer the masterpiece she had created prior to him finding out the ingredients. The new dinner table rule? After you eat it, I will tell you what it is.
