How to Make Bean And Potato Enchiladas

  2. Pour in 1 ½ cups vegetable stock and 1 cup tomato juice. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon cornstarch and 2 tablespoons cold water until smooth. Add to the simmering sauce, whisking constantly until thickened. Remove from heat and set aside.
  4. In a large bowl, combine 1 (15-ounce) can of drained and rinsed black beans, 2 cups cooked potatoes (diced), ½ cup chopped fresh cilantro, 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, and 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained.
  5. Warm 8 corn or flour tortillas. Divide the bean and potato mixture evenly among the tortillas.
  6. Top each tortilla with a large spoonful of the sauce and roll up tightly.
  7. Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish. Arrange the enchiladas in the dish.
  8. Pour the remaining sauce over the enchiladas.
  9. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 15-20 minutes, or until heated through and bubbly.
  10. Garnish with your favorite toppings (guacamole, sour cream, salsa) and serve immediately.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
