Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium Eggplant
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 can (15 ounces) Black beans
- 1 teaspoon Cumin
- 1 teaspoon Chili powder
- 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice
- 8 Corn tortillas
- 2 cups Enchilada sauce
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese
- 2 Green onions
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Slice the eggplants into 1/2-inch rounds and place them on a baking sheet. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
Roast the eggplant in the oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until soft and slightly golden.
While the eggplant roasts, prepare the filling. In a medium skillet over medium heat, warm 1 tablespoon of olive oil and add the black beans, cumin, chili powder, and remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
Cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the flavors meld. Remove from the heat, stir in chopped cilantro, and lime juice.
When the eggplant is cool enough to handle, dice the roasted slices into small cubes.
Combine the roasted eggplant with the black bean mixture in a large bowl to make the filling.
Reduce the oven temperature to 375°F (190°C).
Spread 1/2 cup of enchilada sauce in the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Place about 1/4 cup of the filling mixture onto each corn tortilla, roll them up tightly, and lay them seam-side down in the baking dish.
Once all tortillas are filled, pour the remaining enchilada sauce evenly over the top and sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the enchiladas.
Bake uncovered for 20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbling.
Garnish with sliced green onions before serving.
