Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium, diced yellow onion
• 3 minced garlic cloves
• 1 pound ground beef
• 2 teaspoons chili powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 15-ounce can canned diced tomatoes
• 1 15-ounce can, drained and rinsed black beans
• 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• 8 medium-sized corn tortillas
• 2.5 cups enchilada sauce
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro (optional)

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 skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 3

Add ground beef to the skillet and cook, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, until browned and fully cooked, about 6-8 minutes. Drain any excess fat if necessary.

Step 4

Stir in the chili powder, ground cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to evenly coat the beef with seasonings.

Step 5

Add the canned diced tomatoes and black beans to the skillet. Simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to combine all ingredients. Remove from heat.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Warm the corn tortillas in a microwave or stovetop to make them pliable. Spoon about 1/4 cup of the beef mixture into each tortilla and sprinkle with a small handful of shredded cheddar cheese. Roll the tortillas tightly and place them seam-side down in the baking dish.

Step 8

Pour the remaining enchilada sauce evenly over the rolled tortillas, ensuring they are fully covered. Sprinkle the rest of the cheddar cheese over the top.

Step 9

Bake uncovered in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 10

Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro if desired and serve warm.
