Enchiladas, anyone? Seasoned ground beef and black beans are rolled in tortillas, then baked with enchilada sauce and shredded Mexican cheese for a melty, saucy meal that’s bound to become a weeknight favorite.

Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease a 9 x 13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray.
2
Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Once the oil begins to shimmer, add the onion and cook, stirring often, until beginning to soften, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic, cumin, paprika, and chili powder and cook, stirring constantly, until aromatic, about 30 seconds.
3
Add the ground beef and cook, breaking up with a wooden spoon, until the beef is browned and cooked through, about 5 minutes. Add the salt and black beans and continue cooking until warmed through, about 3 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat.
4
Add 1 cup of enchilada sauce to the bottom of the prepared baking dish and use a spatula to spread evenly.
5
Scoop ½ cup of the beef mixture onto the lower half of a tortilla, then roll up. Place the rolled tortilla seam side-down in the baking dish. Repeat with the remaining beef and tortillas, arranging in a row.
6
Top with the remaining cup of enchilada sauce. Sprinkle the shredded Mexican cheese on top.
7
Bake until the cheese has melted, about 10 minutes.
8
Top the enchiladas with the cilantro and Cotija cheese, if desired, and serve immediately.

Enjoy!
