Description

A recipe for making spicy black bean enchiladas.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • Salt to taste
  • 8 corn tortillas
  • 1 cup enchilada sauce (red or green)
  • 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook until soft, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute more.
  3. Stir in black beans, chili powder, cumin, and cayenne pepper. Cook until heated through. Season with salt.
  4. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease a baking dish.
  5. Warm tortillas briefly in a dry skillet or microwave to make them pliable.
  6. Spoon some bean mixture down the center of each tortilla. Roll up the tortilla and place it seam-down in the prepared baking dish.
  7. Pour enchilada sauce over the rolled tortillas.
  8. Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the top.
  9. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, warm the tortillas briefly in a little oil before filling.
  • You can add 1/4 cup of chopped green chilies to the bean mixture for more heat.
