Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 bell pepper (any color), diced
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 can (15 ounces) black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 cup frozen corn, thawed
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 8 small flour or corn tortillas
  • 2 cups enchilada sauce (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a blend)
  • Optional toppings: sliced avocado, chopped green onions, sour cream, additional cilantro

Instructions

Step 1

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
  • Add the diced onion and cook until it becomes translucent, about 5 minutes.
  • Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute.

Step 2

  • Add the diced bell pepper to the skillet and cook until it starts to soften, about 3 minutes.
  • Stir in the ground cumin and chili powder, cooking until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Step 3

  • Add the black beans and corn to the skillet, stirring to combine.
  • Cook until heated through, about 3-5 minutes.
  • Stir in the chopped cilantro and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Remove the skillet from heat.

Step 4

  • Spread 1/2 cup of enchilada sauce evenly in the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  • Place about 1/4 cup of the black bean mixture in the center of each tortilla, roll them up, and place them seam-side down in the baking dish.
  • Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the rolled tortillas, spreading it evenly.
  • Sprinkle the shredded cheese on top.

Step 5

  • Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
  • Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  • Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

  • For a spicier version, add a chopped jalapeño to the filling or use a spicy enchilada sauce.
  • You can make these enchiladas ahead of time and refrigerate them before baking. Just add an extra 5-10 minutes to the baking time if baking from cold.
  • Feel free to customize the filling with other vegetables like zucchini, spinach, or mushrooms.
