Filling
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 cup yellow onion, diced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon salt, plus more to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 cup red enchilada sauce
- 1 – 4oz can of green chilies
- 1 – 15oz can black beans, rinsed and drained
- 1/2 cup shredded Mexican blend cheese
For the Enchiladas
- 8–10 flour tortillas
- 2 1/3 cups red enchilada sauce
- 2 cups shredded Mexican blend cheese
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees and grease 9×13 baking dish with avocado spray.
- Make the filling: Heat a large skillet over medium high heat. Once hot, add the ground beef. Cook the meat until brown, breaking it up as it cooks. Once the beef has browned, add the diced onion and sauté for 2-3 more minutes until it becomes translucent.
- Next, add the minced garlic, salt, dried oregano, black beans, and enchilada sauce. Cook for 1-2 minutes and then remove from the heat and stir in 1/2 cup of cheese.
- Assemble the Enchiladas: Pour 1/3 a cup of enchilada sauce in the bottom of a 9×13 baking dish. Next,microwave the flour tortillas for 30 seconds to 1 minute, flipping halfway through, until warm and pliable. Next, pour 1/2 cup of enchilada sauce on a large plate. One at a time, gently dip a tortilla in the enchilada sauce until lightly coated on both sides. Scoop a heaping 1/3 a cup of the filling into the tortilla and then gently roll up and place in the baking dish, seam side down. Repeat the process until all of the filling has been used. If you have a bit of leftover filling, scatter it on the sides of the rolled enchiladas.
- Pour the remaining 1 1/2 cups of enchilada sauce over the enchiladas and then top with the 2 cups of shredded cheese.
- Bake the enchiladas at 400 degrees for 15-20 minutes or until the cheese is fully melted and the sides are bubbly. Garnish with cilantro, diced red onion, sliced jalapeño, and lime wedges before serving. You could also add a drizzle of Greek yogurt or sour cream that has been thinned with lime juice if you like. Enjoy!
