Ingredients:
10 small corn tortillas
1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
1 cup of red enchilada sauce
1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese (or a blend of your choice)
1/2 cup of chopped onions
1 teaspoon of ground cumin
1 teaspoon of chili powder
1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder
1/4 cup of fresh cilantro, chopped
1 tablespoon of olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
Optional toppings: sour cream, avocado, salsa, or additional cilantro
Instructions:
Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) to preheat while you prepare the enchiladas.
Sauté the onions: In a medium-sized skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and cook for about 3-4 minutes until softened and translucent.
Prepare the filling: In a bowl, combine the black beans, cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, sautéed onions, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix well to evenly coat the beans in the spices.
Fill the tortillas: Lightly warm the corn tortillas in the microwave for about 20 seconds to make them more pliable. Spread a few spoonfuls of the black bean mixture along the center of each tortilla, then roll them up tightly.
Arrange the enchiladas: Pour a thin layer of enchilada sauce over the bottom of a baking dish. Place the rolled tortillas seam-side down in the dish, ensuring they’re snug against each other.
Top with sauce and cheese: Pour the remaining enchilada sauce evenly over the tortillas. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese on top, covering the entire dish.
Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 20 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
