Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 medium yellow onion, diced
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 cups black beans, rinsed and drained
• 1 can (15 ounces) diced tomatoes, drained
• 1 cup corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned)
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 8 flour tortillas (8-inch size)
• 2 cups enchilada sauce
• 2 cups shredded cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese
• 0.25 cup fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
• 0.5 cup sour cream (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Step 2

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Stir in the black beans, diced tomatoes, corn, cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together. Remove from heat.

Step 5

Spread 1/2 cup of enchilada sauce evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish.

Step 6

Lay a tortilla flat and spoon about 1/3 cup of the black bean mixture down the center. Sprinkle a small handful of shredded cheese on top of the filling, then roll the tortilla tightly and place it seam-side down into the baking dish. Repeat with the remaining tortillas, black bean mixture, and cheese.

Step 7

Pour the remaining enchilada sauce evenly over the rolled tortillas, ensuring they are completely covered. Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheese over the top.

Step 8

Cover the dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped cilantro, if desired, and serve with sour cream on the side.
