  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

1 lb ground beef

1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed

1 can (10 oz) enchilada sauce

1 teaspoon chili powder

1/2 teaspoon cumin

8 flour tortillas

1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or Mexican blend)

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

  • In a skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef. Drain any excess fat.

  • Stir in chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Mix well.

  • Add black beans and 1/2 cup of enchilada sauce. Stir until combined.

  • Spoon the beef and bean mixture onto the center of each tortilla and roll tightly. Place rolled tortillas in a baking dish.

  • Pour remaining enchilada sauce over the tortillas and sprinkle with shredded cheese.

  • Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

  • Serve hot and enjoy!

Notes

  • Variations: Add diced bell peppers, onions, or corn to the beef mixture for extra flavor and nutrition. For a spicier kick, include chopped jalapeños or hot sauce.

  • Substitutions: Use ground turkey or chicken for a lighter version, or swap the beef with extra black beans or veggies for a vegetarian option.

  • Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the enchiladas in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 15 minutes or microwave individual servings.
