Ingredients
- 1 - 2 Tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 medium yellow onion diced
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1.5 lbs ground beef
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 4 oz can diced green chiles drained
- 15 oz can black beans rinsed and drained thoroughly
- 1/3 cup chopped fresh cilantro divided
- 8 flour tortillas burrito sized
- 3 cups Mexican-blend shredded cheese
- 1 batch homemade red enchilada sauce or a 19 - 20oz can of store-bought sauce
- additional cilantro for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a 9x13" baking dish and set aside.
- Add oil to a large skillet and heat over MED HIGH heat. Add beef and cook for about 3-4 minutes, crumbling as it cooks.
- Add onion, garlic and green chiles, stir, and cook another 3-4 minutes, until onions are soft and beef is cooked through.
- Drain in a colander and return to skillet. Stir in black beans, half of the cilantro, and about 1/2 cup of the enchilada sauce.
- To prepare the enchiladas, spread a tablespoon or two of the enchilada sauce over a tortilla, then add about 1/8th of the beef mixture down the center. Top with roughly 1/4-1/3 cup of cheese.
- Roll up tortilla and add to prepared baking dish. Repeat with remaining tortillas.
- Spread any remaining enchilada sauce over the top of the tortillas and sprinkle top with remaining cheese.
- Bake, uncovered, for 20-23 minutes, until hot and bubbly and cheese is completely melted.
- Sprinkle top with chopped cilantro. Serve garnished with a little sour cream, cilantro, pico de gallo, diced avocado, etc.
