Ingredients

  • 2 pounds flank steak or similar beef cut into 1 inch pieces
  • 2 10-ounce cans mild or medium red enchilada sauce
  • 2 tablespoons adobo sauce (from a can of chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, found near the canned jalapeños)
  • 1 Anaheim pepper diced
  • 1 15-ounce can diced green chiles
  • 2 teaspoons minced garlic 
  • 1 ½ teaspoons onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 tablespoon cold water
  • 2 tablespoons corn starch
  • 1 can black beans drained and rinsed
  • 4 burrito-sized flour tortillas
  • 1 cup shredded Mexican-style cheese

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Saute beef in a large sauce pan over medium heat until tender.
  2. Add enchilada sauce and next 8 ingredients (through cumin) to the pan. Whisk together water and corn starch in a small bowl, add to pan and stir. Reduce heat to a simmer, cover and cook for another 15 minutes.
  3. Add black beans and a generous amount of beef mixture to the middle of each tortilla. Wrap up tightly and place seam-side-down in a greased baking dish. Top with additional sauce from the beef mixture and sprinkle shredded cheese on top. Bake at 400 for 10 minutes until cheese is bubbly, then serve.

Notes

  • Control the heat by adjusting the amount of adobo sauce.
