Ingredients
- 1 Tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium onion sliced
- 1 red bell pepper sliced
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 3 teaspoons chili powder
- 3 teaspoons cumin
- 1/2 tsp salt
- freshly ground pepper to taste
- 1 oz can black beans drained and rinsed
- 1 oz jar salsa divided
- 10 medium flour tortillas
- 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- chopped fresh cilantro for topping optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium high heat. Add the sliced onion and peppers and cook for 5-7 minutes until softened. Add the garlic and stir for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add in the ground beef and break up meat with a wooden spoon, cooking until browned. Season with the chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper to taste. Stir in the black beans and 1/4 cup of the salsa.
- Spread a small amount of the salsa (about 1/3 cup) evenly over the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish. Warm 3-4 tortillas at a time in the microwave wrapped in a damp paper towel for 30 seconds. Lay the tortillas out on a clean surface and fill each one with about 1/3 cup of the beef filling. Roll the filled tortillas and place seam side down in the prepared baking dish.
- Top the tortillas with the remaining salsa and cheese, then cover with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until hot and cheese is melted.
- Serve enchiladas with desired toppings such as sour cream, chopped cilantro, and diced avocado. Enjoy!
Notes
- I make these with salsa which makes them easy to customize to different tastes and spice levels. I usually use a mild chunky salsa to appeal to my family, but you could use a spicy salsa, green salsa, etc. You can also use regular canned enchiladas sauce as well.
- These are freezer friendly! Prep the enchiladas as instructed then cover with Saran Wrap and then aluminum foil. Freeze for up to 3 months, and then bake FROZEN at 350 degrees for 45-55 minutes covered with just the aluminum foil (not the Saran Wrap) and serve. You can also THAW the enchiladas before baking and bake at 350 for 25-30 minutes.
- Feel free to swap out the beef for ground turkey, cooked shredded chicken, or even shrimp!
