Ingredients
– 1 pound ground beef
– 1 yellow onion, diced
– 1 tablespoon taco seasoning
– 2 cups enchilada sauce
– 8 enchilada-size tortillas
– 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
– 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
– 12 corn or flour tortillas (6-8 inch) for more servings
– 1 medium onion, finely chopped (about 1 cup) if you want extra
– 2 cloves garlic, minced for added flavor
– 1 cup (165 g) canned black beans, drained and rinsed for nutrition
– 1/2 cup (75 g) diced bell pepper for color and vitamins
– 1 tsp ground cumin and 1 tsp chili powder for seasoning
– Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
1-First Steps: Get Ready: Preheat the oven to 375ยฐF (190ยฐC). Gather a large skillet, 9ร13-inch baking dish, spatula, cutting board, and measuring cups. Chop 1 medium onion, mince 2 cloves garlic, dice 1/2 cup bell pepper, and measure 2 cups enchilada sauce and 1 cup cheese. Having everything ready speeds assembly and ensures even cooking.
2-Brown the Meat: Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 lb lean ground beef and cook 6 8 minutes, breaking it up until no pink remains. Drain excess fat if desired. Season with 1 tsp ground cumin, 1 tsp chili powder, salt and pepper.
3-Build the Filling: Reduce heat to medium, add the chopped onion and bell pepper and sautรฉ 4 5 minutes until softened. Stir in minced garlic and cook 30 seconds. Add 1 cup drained black beans and 1/2 cup enchilada sauce, simmer 2 3 minutes to combine flavors.
4-Prep and Roll Tortillas: Warm tortillas briefly in a dry skillet or microwave to make them pliable. Spoon about 1/4 to 1/3 cup of the beef filling into the center of each tortilla, add a sprinkle of cheese, then roll tightly.
5-Assemble in the Dish: Spread a thin layer of enchilada sauce on the bottom of a 9ร13-inch dish. Place each filled tortilla seam-side down in the dish and pour remaining sauce over the top.
6-Bake and Finish: Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the sauced enchiladas. Bake for 18 22 minutes until cheese is melted. Let rest 5 minutes and garnish with cilantro or lime.
