Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 cups black beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 can (15 ounces) diced tomatoes, drained
- 1 cup corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned)
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 8 flour tortillas (8-inch size)
- 2 cups enchilada sauce
- 2 cups shredded cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese
- 0.25 cup fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
- 0.5 cup sour cream (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened.
Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
Stir in the black beans, diced tomatoes, corn, cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together. Remove from heat.
Spread 1/2 cup of enchilada sauce evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
Lay a tortilla flat and spoon about 1/3 cup of the black bean mixture down the center. Sprinkle a small handful of shredded cheese on top of the filling, then roll the tortilla tightly and place it seam-side down into the baking dish. Repeat with the remaining tortillas, black bean mixture, and cheese.
Pour the remaining enchilada sauce evenly over the rolled tortillas, ensuring they are completely covered. Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheese over the top.
Cover the dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped cilantro, if desired, and serve with sour cream on the side.
