Bean and Cheese Enchiladas
Description
Bean and Cheese Enchiladas feature a filling of canned black beans and green chiles wrapped in corn tortillas dipped in red enchilada sauce. The tortillas are rolled and placed in a baking dish coated with sauce, then topped with shredded Monterey Jack cheese and baked until the cheese melts and turns slightly golden. Chopped fresh cilantro and sliced green onions are sprinkled on top before serving, adding fresh herbal and mild onion notes.
The combination of tender beans, melted cheese, and tangy enchilada sauce creates a comforting texture contrast and balanced flavor. This dish can be prepared ahead and baked when needed.
Leftover enchiladas can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 5 days. Flour tortillas can be substituted for corn if preferred, and homemade black beans can be used instead of canned.
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
- Homemade black beans can replace canned for a fresher flavor.
- Flour tortillas are an alternative to corn tortillas depending on preference.
- Store leftovers refrigerated in an airtight container for up to five days.
