Ingredients
- 1 can black beans 15 oz rinsed and drained
- 1 can green chiles 4 oz
- 2 cups Red Enchilada Sauce
- 8 corn tortillas 6 inch
- 3 cups Monterey jack cheese shredded
- 1/2 cup cilantro chopped
- 4 green onions sliced
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Mix together the rinsed black beans and the Green Chiles in a small bowl.
- Pour a small amount of the homemade enchilada sauce on the bottom of a 9X13 baking pan. Then pour the remaining enchilada sauce in a bowl.
- Then dip the corn tortillas in the enchilada sauce.
- Then place approximately 1/4 cup of the bean mixture in each tortilla and top with a small amount of the shredded cheese. Roll it up and push it to the end of the pan.
- Continue this process until your pan is full. Then pour the excess sauce over the top of the rolled tortillas and sprinkle the top with the remaining shredded cheese.
- Then bake the enchiladas for 15-20 minutes until the cheese is melted and slightly golden brown.
- Top with the chopped fresh cilantro and green onions. Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes
- I used canned black beans in this recipe but you can make them with homemade black beans as well.
- Also, flour tortillas can be used instead of corn if you prefer.
- Refrigerate leftover enchiladas in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
