Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium, diced yellow onion
• 3 cloves, minced garlic
• 15 ounces, canned, rinsed and drained black beans
• 1 cup frozen corn kernels
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 8 medium flour tortillas
• 2 cups enchilada sauce
• 2 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend
• 0.25 cup, chopped (optional, for garnish) fresh cilantro

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or a small amount of olive oil.

Step 2

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened and translucent.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Add the black beans, frozen corn, ground cumin, chili powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper to the skillet. Stir well to combine and cook for 3-4 minutes until the mixture is heated through. Remove the skillet from heat.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Place a tortilla on a flat surface. Spoon about 1/4 cup of the black bean and corn mixture onto the center of the tortilla. Roll it up tightly and place it seam-side down in the baking dish. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.

Step 7

Pour the remaining 1 1/2 cups of enchilada sauce evenly over the rolled tortillas, ensuring they are fully coated. Sprinkle the shredded Mexican cheese blend over the top.

Step 8

Cover the baking dish loosely with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 9

Remove the enchiladas from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro, if desired, before serving.
