Description

These 5 Ingredient Black Bean Enchiladas are a quick, easy, and delicious meal featuring seasoned black beans and melted cheese wrapped in corn tortillas, topped with green enchilada sauce and baked to perfection. Perfect for a weeknight dinner, they come together in just 30 minutes and serve 10.

Ingredients

Enchiladas

  • 10 corn tortillas
  • 1 (15 oz) can black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 8 oz shredded cheese (Mexican blend, Monterey Jack, or cheddar), divided
  • 2 teaspoons taco seasoning
  • 1 cup salsa verde or green enchilada sauce

Toppings (Optional)

  • Avocado
  • Salsa
  • Sour cream
  • Cilantro sauce

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (204 degrees Celsius) to ensure it’s ready for baking the enchiladas.
  2. Prepare Tortillas: Wrap the corn tortillas in a damp paper towel and microwave them for 30 seconds. This steaming process makes the tortillas pliable and prevents cracking when rolling.
  3. Season Beans: Stir the taco seasoning into the rinsed and drained black beans to infuse them with flavor.
  4. Fill Tortillas: Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the seasoned black beans and 2 tablespoons of shredded cheese into each tortilla. Be careful not to overfill to make rolling easier. Use about two-thirds of the cheese as the filling.
  5. Roll and Arrange: Roll up each filled tortilla and place it seam side down in a baking dish. Using a dish about the width of the tortillas helps keep them snug and neat.
  6. Add Sauce: Pour the salsa verde or green enchilada sauce evenly over the rolled tortillas in the dish.
  7. Top with Cheese: Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheese over the top of the sauced tortillas.
  8. Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes or until the cheese on top is fully melted and bubbly.
  9. Serve: Remove from oven, add your favorite toppings such as avocado, salsa, sour cream, or cilantro sauce, and serve immediately for a comforting meal.

Notes

  • Microwaving the tortillas wrapped in a damp paper towel prevents them from becoming brittle and cracking while rolling.
  • You can use any shredded cheese you prefer, such as Mexican blend, Monterey Jack, or sharp cheddar.
  • For added protein, consider adding cooked chicken or extra beans inside the enchiladas.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven or microwave.
  • To make it vegan, substitute cheese with a plant-based alternative and confirm the enchilada sauce is free of animal products.
