Spicy Supper Menu
This menu is easy to pull together since the black bean and corn salad can be made ahead. If you can't find fresh red snapper, use another type of snapper. Menu serves 4.

You can assemble the enchiladas ahead of time if necessary; cover tightly and refrigerate for up to 2 hours before baking.

Menu serves 5.
