A comforting Tex-Mex favorite that combines smoky spices, smooth black beans, and bubbling cheese wrapped in warm corn tortillas.

  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1/2 cup frozen corn, thawed
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 8 (6-inch) corn tortillas
  • 1 (10 ounce) can enchilada sauce
  • 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • Optional toppings: sour cream, avocado, salsa

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add garlic, chili powder, cumin, and oregano; cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
  3. Stir in the black beans, corn, and cilantro. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  4. Warm the tortillas slightly to make them pliable (you can do this in a dry skillet, microwave, or oven).
  5. Spoon the black bean mixture evenly into the center of each tortilla. Roll up the tortillas and place them seam-down in a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  6. Pour the enchilada sauce evenly over the rolled tortillas.
  7. Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the top.
  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the sauce is bubbly and the cheese is melted and lightly golden.
  9. Let stand for a few minutes before serving. Serve with your favorite optional toppings.

Notes

For a creamier finish, stir a spoonful of crema or plain yogurt into the filling after slightly cooling. Can be assembled ahead and refrigerated before baking.
