Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 6 cups Fresh kale or Swiss chard (stems removed, leaves roughly chopped)
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 3 units Garlic cloves (minced)
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 1 can Black beans (drained and rinsed)
• 8 units Corn tortillas
• 2 cups Enchilada sauce (store-bought or homemade)
• 1.5 cups Shredded cheese (cheddar or Monterey Jack)
• 0.25 cup Cilantro leaves (for garnish)
• 4 units Lime wedges (for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped greens and sauté until slightly wilted, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 3

Sprinkle the smoked paprika, ground cumin, and minced garlic over the greens. Stir well and cook for another 2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 4

Season with salt and stir in the black beans. Cook for 1-2 minutes more, allowing the flavors to meld.

Step 5

Warm the corn tortillas briefly in a dry skillet or microwave to make them pliable.

Step 6

Spread about 1/4 cup of enchilada sauce over the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Step 7

Fill each tortilla with a portion of the barbecued greens and bean mixture, then roll tightly. Place each rolled tortilla seam-side down in the baking dish.

Step 8

Pour the remaining enchilada sauce evenly over the filled tortillas. Sprinkle shredded cheese on top.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the edges of the tortillas are slightly crispy.

Step 10

Garnish with fresh cilantro leaves and serve with lime wedges on the side.
