Make

Heat oven to 375F degrees (or 190C).
Heat a saute pan over medium-high heat. Add cooking oil and then chard stems to the heated oil. Saute for ~3 minutes, until softened. Next add in as many chard leaves as can fit into the pan. Add more as room is made in the pan.
Add half of the leftover sauce and black beans. Saute for ~3 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Cover the bottom of a rectangular baking dish (about 9 x 13) with half of the remaining sauce.
Divide filling into tortillas and arrange seam-side down in the pan. If the tortillas are not pliable, follow package instructions to soften. Cover in rest of the sauce, cover with foil, and bake for 20 minutes.
Chop cilantro and mince garlic. Mash with avocado and lime juice. Season with salt.
Sprinkle enchiladas with cheese and bake uncovered for another 5 to 7 minutes, until cheese is melted and bubbly.
