Ingredients
  

Enchilada Filling
  • 2 cans black beans rinsed and drained
  • 1 cup corn frozen or canned
  • 1 cup bell pepper diced
  • 1 cup onion diced
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese shredded
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil for sautéing
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 8 large tortillas corn or flour
Enchilada Sauce
  • 1 can enchilada sauce store-bought or homemade
  • 1 cup sour cream for topping
  • 1 cup cilantro chopped, for garnish

Method
 

Prepare the Filling
  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onion and bell pepper, and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Add black beans, corn, cumin, and chili powder to the skillet. Stir and cook for another 5 minutes. Remove from heat and mix in half of the cheddar cheese.
Assemble the Enchiladas
  1. Spread a thin layer of enchilada sauce on the bottom of a baking dish.
  2. Place a tortilla on a flat surface, add a generous scoop of the filling, and roll it up tightly. Place seam-side down in the baking dish.
  3. Repeat with remaining tortillas and filling.
  4. Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the rolled tortillas and sprinkle with the remaining cheddar cheese.
Bake the Enchiladas
  1. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 20 minutes.
  2. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
  3. Let cool for a few minutes before serving. Top with sour cream and cilantro.
