How to Make Spicy Black Bean Green Chili Cheese Enchiladas

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Position a baking rack in the middle of the oven.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the black beans, green chilies, sour cream, and Manchego cheese.
  3. Season with salt, pepper, and cumin (if using). Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
  4. Set aside.
  5. Warm 3/4 of the enchilada sauce in a large shallow pan over low-medium heat.
  6. Lightly coat the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish with some of the warmed enchilada sauce.
  7. If using corn tortillas, lightly fry them in hot oil for a few seconds per side until pliable (optional).
  8. Dip each tortilla into the warmed enchilada sauce, coating both sides.
  9. Place the tortilla in the prepared baking dish. Fill with 2 tablespoons of the black bean mixture and roll up tightly.
  10. Place seam-side down in the baking dish. Repeat until all tortillas are used (approximately 10-12 enchiladas).
  11. Pour the remaining enchilada sauce evenly over the enchiladas, ensuring all tortillas are coated.
  12. Top with extra cheese.
  13. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and the enchiladas are lightly golden brown.
  14. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings, such as avocado, guacamole, salsa, fajita veggies, sour cream, green onions, cilantro, or lettuce.
  15. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave.
