Description

Delicious and comforting Vegetarian Black Bean Enchiladas, perfect for family gatherings and adaptable to your favorite flavors.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 8 corn or flour tortillas
  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 1 bell pepper, diced
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • Fresh cilantro, for garnishing
  • Enchilada sauce, homemade or store-bought
  • Optional toppings: sour cream, avocado, jalapeños

Instructions

  1. Sauté diced onions and bell peppers in olive oil over medium heat for 5-7 minutes until softened. Add drained black beans and spices; cook for another 5 minutes.
  2. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Warm tortillas in a dry skillet, then add a couple tablespoons of filling and cheese, roll tightly, and place seam-side down in a greased baking dish.
  3. Cover rolled enchiladas with enchilada sauce and sprinkle with additional cheese. Bake uncovered for 20-25 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly.
  4. Let enchiladas rest for a few minutes, then garnish with fresh cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice before serving.

Notes

For a vegan version, substitute cheese with dairy-free options. Avoid overstuffing to prevent tearing tortillas.
