Description
A comforting and flavorful dish with a rich filling of black beans, spices, and gooey cheese, perfect for family gatherings.
Ingredients
- Corn or flour tortillas
- Canned black beans
- Monterey Jack cheese
- Cheddar cheese
- Enchilada sauce
- Onion
- Garlic
- Cumin
- Chili powder
- Smoked paprika
- Fresh cilantro or parsley
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a skillet, drizzle in some olive oil and heat it over medium heat. Add chopped onion and minced garlic, cooking until they are soft and fragrant (approximately 3-5 minutes).
- Stir in the black beans, spices, and about half of the enchilada sauce. Mix until combined and let it simmer for about 5 minutes.
- Warm the tortillas in the microwave or on a skillet to make them pliable.

- Drizzle the remaining enchilada sauce over the tortillas and top with more cheese.
- Bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is golden and bubbly.
- Once out of the oven, sprinkle freshly chopped cilantro on top. Serve hot with sour cream or guacamole, if desired.
