recipe enchiladas

 Yields: 8 servings

Prep time: 20 minutes

Cook time: 25-30 minutes

Ingredients:

 * 1 pound ground beef

 * 1 onion, chopped

 * 2 cloves garlic, minced

 * 1 (10 ounce) can enchilada sauce

 * 1 (4 ounce) can diced green chiles

 * 1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained

 * 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

 * 8 corn tortillas

 * 1/2 cup chopped cilantro, for garnish

 * Sour cream, for serving (optional)

Instructions

 * Brown the meat: In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef. Drain off any excess grease.

 * Sauté vegetables: Add the chopped onion and garlic to the skillet and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.

 * Combine ingredients: Stir in the enchilada sauce, diced green chiles, black beans, and 1/2 cup of the shredded cheddar cheese. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

 * Warm tortillas: Warm the tortillas slightly in the microwave or by briefly heating them in a dry skillet.

 * Assemble enchiladas: Spread about 1/4 cup of the beef mixture down the center of each tortilla. Roll up the tortillas tightly and place them seam-side down in a lightly greased 9x13 inch baking dish.

 * Top and bake: Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the enchiladas. Top with the remaining shredded cheese. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

 * Serve: Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve immediately with sour cream, if desired.

Tips:

 * Spice it up: Add a pinch of chili powder or cayenne pepper to the meat mixture for extra heat.

 * Add-ins: Get creative with your fillings! Try adding chopped bell peppers, olives, or diced tomatoes.

 * Make ahead: Assemble the enchiladas and cover them with foil. Refrigerate overnight. Bake as directed, adding an extra 5-10 minutes to the baking time.

Enjoy your delicious homemade enchiladas!
