How to Make Basic Bean Enchiladas

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add 1 onion, chopped, and 2 cloves garlic, minced, and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Stir in 1 (15-ounce) can of black beans (rinsed and drained), 1 (15-ounce) can of corn (drained), 1 teaspoon chili powder, 1/2 teaspoon cumin, 1/4 teaspoon oregano, and salt and pepper to taste. Simmer for 5 minutes, allowing flavors to meld.
  4. Warm corn tortillas according to package directions. You can either microwave, oven-warm or heat in a dry skillet.
  5. Spread about 1/4 cup of the bean mixture onto each tortilla. Roll up tightly and place seam-down in a lightly greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
  6. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup of enchilada sauce and 1/4 cup of water. Pour over the enchiladas.
  7. Bake for 15 minutes, or until heated through and bubbly. Top with your favorite toppings such as cheese, sour cream, avocado, cilantro before serving.
  8. Enjoy!
