Mexican is not Taco Bell. Real Mexican food is an experience. It matches every texture together in some form of perfection. I adore Mexican food. I love a good enchilada. Unfortunately, Trader Joe's Black Bean and Corn Enchilada was just alright. There are better ones.
The Pros: Trader Joe's Black Bean and Corn Enchilada has a sauce that had a nice smokey flavor it it.
The Cons: I expected there to be more cheese with this. The texture and filling was just ok.

I think they're pretty good, actually, for heat-and-eat. I will agree that they're not up to homemade standards, but they're good to have around when you can't be bothered to cook. I am confused though as to why you were expecting more cheese when the package says nothing about cheese.

It’s a vegan product. That’s probably why you didn’t taste the cheese. There isn’t any.
