Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add a drizzle of olive oil.
- Add the diced onion, bell peppers, and minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté until the vegetables are tender and the onions are translucent, about 5-7 minutes.
- Stir in the black beans, frozen corn, cumin, chili powder, and season with salt and pepper. Combine well and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the mixture is warmed through.
- Pour 1/2 cup of enchilada sauce into the bottom of a 13x9 inch baking dish, spreading it out to cover the entire base.
- Place a generous spoonful of the black bean mixture onto each flour tortilla. Roll up tightly and place seam-side down in the prepared baking dish.
- Pour the remaining enchilada sauce evenly over the rolled tortillas, ensuring they are all well coated.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the top of the enchiladas.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and slightly golden.
- Remove from the oven and let the enchiladas rest for a few minutes before garnishing with fresh chopped cilantro.
- Serve hot with your favorite sides, such as salsa, guacamole, or a fresh salad. Enjoy!
Tips
- You can use any type of cheese you prefer, but a mix of Monterey Jack and Cheddar works well for this recipe.
- If you want to add some heat, include a diced jalapeno with the bell peppers or add some hot sauce to the black bean mixture.
- For a vegan version, use plant-based cheese and check that your enchilada sauce is vegan.
