Ingredients

• 8 pieces Flour tortillas
• 2 cups Canned black beans
• 1 cup Canned pinto beans
• 2 cups Enchilada sauce
• 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 cup Shredded Monterey Jack cheese
• 1 cup Chopped onion
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 2 cloves Minced garlic
• 1.5 teaspoons Ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon Chili powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 cup Fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)
• 0.5 cup Sour cream (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté for 2-3 minutes, until softened and fragrant.

Step 3

Stir in the black beans and pinto beans, and season with cumin, chili powder, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the beans are warmed through.

Step 4

Spread 1/4 cup of the enchilada sauce evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish.

Step 5

Lay a flour tortilla flat on a clean surface. Place about 1/4 cup of the bean mixture in the center of the tortilla, sprinkle a small handful of shredded cheddar and Monterey Jack cheese on top, and roll it up tightly. Place the rolled tortilla seam-side down in the baking dish. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.

Step 6

Pour the rest of the enchilada sauce evenly over the rolled tortillas. Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheese on top.

Step 7

Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbling.

Step 8

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