Black Bean Enchiladas

Well. I'm sure I'm not the only one who's noticed the increased price for meat in the last year or so. ย It's really been killing our budget! ย So I've been on a mission lately to conjure up some tasty meatless meals. ย It's actually been pretty hard because a lot of recipes that use beans or veggies instead of meat will over-compensate by adding lots of extras of other things, leaving the meal tasting, meh.

I decided to go in the opposite direction with this Black Bean Enchiladas recipe. ย Keep it nice and simple. ย Just a few classic flavors, nothing that will be too overpowering, and get rid of any "extras." ย And let me tell you, it was the best decision I could have made because these turned out fabulous. ย I kid you not, Mr. Gracious was eating right out of the mixing bowl faster than I could scoop it into tortillas!

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion thinly sliced
  • 2 teaspoons cumin
  • 2 cans black beans (15 ounces each) drained and rinsed
  • 1 can diced green chiles (4 ounces)
  • ยฝ cup sour cream
  • ยฝ cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 2 cups shredded Mexican cheese divided
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 28 ounce can red enchilada sauce
  • 10-12 medium corn tortillas

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350ยฐF.
  • In a medium skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. Add onions and cumin and saute until onions are tender and translucent. Set aside to cool.
  • In a large mixing bowl, add beans, green chiles, sour cream, and cilantro. Stir to mix.
  • Add slightly cooled onions and stir again to combine.
  • Add 1 cup shredded cheese and salt and pepper to taste, and stir again until all ingredients are incorporated.
  • Pour about โ…“ cup enchilada sauce into a 9"x13" pan. You just want enough on the bottom to cover it.
  • Fill a tortilla with ยผ cup of the bean mixture. Roll up, and place into the baking dish. Repeat for remaining tortillas.
  • When all the tortillas are filled and rolled, pour the remaining enchilada sauce on top. Sprinkle with remaining cheese.
  • Bake at 350ยฐF for 15-20 minutes until cheese is melted and enchiladas are heated through.

Notes

  • If your corn tortillas are breaking, this is likely due to the fact that they are not freshly made, but we can still fix it. Either add oil to a small skillet and heat over medium heat. Place tortillas in oil one at a time for about 5 to 10 seconds each side, enough to soften but not to make them crisp. Or you can brush a little enchilada sauce onto each tortilla directly after rolling it to soften and prevent breaking.
