Description
Delight in these Vegetarian Black Bean Enchiladas, packed with rich flavors and easy to make for busy weeknights.
Ingredients
- Black Beans: Canned or cooked, they provide a protein-rich filling for the enchiladas.
- Corn: Adds sweetness and texture to the filling. Frozen corn can be used for convenience.
- Tortillas: Corn tortillas work best for enchiladas, giving that traditional flavor and texture.
- Enchilada Sauce: You can use store-bought or homemade enchilada sauce for a rich, zesty flavor.
- Shredded Cheese: A blend of Monterey Jack and Cheddar cheese provides a gooey topping that’s hard to resist.
- Onion: Adds a savory base flavor to the filling when sautéed.
- Garlic: Infuses a delicious aroma and enhances the flavors of the filling.
- Cilantro: Fresh cilantro adds a burst of freshness when added to the filling or as a garnish.
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a skillet over medium heat, sauté chopped onions and minced garlic until translucent.
- Add the black beans and corn, mixing well until heated through. Season with your choice of spices such as cumin, chili powder, and salt.
- To assemble the enchiladas, spread a layer of enchilada sauce on the bottom of a baking dish.
- Fill each tortilla with the black bean mixture, roll gently, and place seam-side down in the baking dish.
- Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the top, covering the tortillas. Sprinkle with shredded cheese.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.
Notes
- For the best flavors, opt for fresh onions, garlic, and herbs.
- If you prefer a spicier kick, use a hot enchilada sauce or add some jalapeños to the filling.
- Swap the cheese for your favorite type, ensuring that it melts well.
