Ingredients

• 1 cup (cooked or canned, rinsed and drained) black beans
• 1 cup (cooked or canned, rinsed and drained) pinto beans
• 1 cup (cooked or canned, rinsed and drained) kidney beans
• 1 cup (cooked or canned, rinsed and drained) cannellini beans
• 1 medium (finely chopped) onion
• 3 (minced) garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 teaspoons chili powder
• 1 teaspoon cumin
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 14-ounce can diced tomatoes
• 1 4-ounce can (chopped) green chilies
• 2 cups enchilada sauce
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
• 8 (6- to 8-inch size) flour tortillas
• 0.25 cup (chopped, for garnish) fresh cilantro
• 1 cup (for serving, optional) sour cream

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and set it aside.

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.

Step 3

Stir in the minced garlic, chili powder, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the black beans, pinto beans, kidney beans, and cannellini beans to the skillet. Stir in the diced tomatoes and green chilies. Cook for 5 minutes to combine flavors.

Step 5

Pour 1/2 cup of the enchilada sauce into the bottom of the prepared baking dish.

Step 6

Take one tortilla and spoon approximately 1/3 cup of the bean filling down the center. Sprinkle a small amount of the cheese mixture over the filling, then roll the tortilla tightly.

Step 7

Place the rolled tortilla seam-side down in the baking dish. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and bean mixture.

Step 8

Once all enchiladas are assembled, pour the remaining enchilada sauce evenly over the top. Sprinkle the remaining cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses over the enchiladas.

Step 9

Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.

Step 10

Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 11

Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro. Serve warm with sour cream on the side, if desired.
