Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground beef
- 2 tbsp Chipotle peppers in adobo sauce (minced)
- 1 small Onion (finely chopped)
- 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 tsp Ground cumin
- 1 tsp Chili powder
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 cup Black beans (cooked or canned, drained and rinsed)
- 1 cup Corn kernels (fresh or frozen)
- 8 Flour tortillas (medium size)
- 2 cups Enchilada sauce (red or chipotle-flavored)
- 2 cups Shredded cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese
- 2 tbsp Fresh cilantro (chopped, optional for garnish)
- 0.5 cup Sour cream (for serving, optional)
- 1 tbsp Vegetable oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet and sauté until the onion is translucent, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook until browned, breaking it up with a wooden spoon as it cooks, approximately 5-7 minutes.
Stir in the chipotle peppers, ground cumin, chili powder, and salt. Cook for another 1-2 minutes to blend the flavors.
Reduce the heat and mix in the black beans and corn kernels. Stir until evenly distributed and heated through. Remove from heat.
Spread 1/2 cup of the enchilada sauce over the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Fill each tortilla with about 1/2 cup of the beef mixture and a sprinkle of cheese. Roll tightly and place seam-side down in the prepared baking dish.
Once all tortillas are filled and placed in the dish, pour the remaining enchilada sauce over them, ensuring they are evenly covered.
Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheese over the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the enchiladas from the oven and let them cool slightly. Garnish with fresh cilantro if desired.
Serve warm with sour cream, if preferred. Enjoy your homemade Chipotle Beef Enchiladas!
