Ingredients
  

Main
  • 1 pound ground beef or turkey
  • 1 can 15 oz Old El Paso enchilada sauce
  • 8 corn tortillas
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup black beans drained and rinsed
  • 1 medium onion diced
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Chopped cilantro for garnish optional

Equipment

  • Large skillet
  • Mixing bowl
  • 9x13 inch baking dish
  • Aluminum foil
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef or turkey. Cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon.
  3. Stir in the diced onion, cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Cook until the onions are soft.
  4. Add the black beans to the skillet and stir to combine.
  5. Take a tortilla and spoon some of the meat mixture down the center. Roll it up tightly and place it seam-side down in the baking dish.
  6. Pour the enchilada sauce evenly over the rolled tortillas.
  7. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese generously on top of the sauce.
  8. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 20 minutes.
  9. Remove the foil for the last few minutes to allow the cheese to brown slightly.

Notes

For extra flavor, try adding some chopped jalapeños or bell peppers to the meat mixture.
