Speedy Black Bean Enchiladas
Years ago, we received a cookbook from the Sargento cheese company, and there are a few recipes that are fall backs for us. One is the Soft Shell Chicken Tacos, and another is the Speedy Black Bean ‘n’ Cheese Burritos. The only thing I mind about the burritos is that, because they’re baked, sometimes the tortillas get kind of dried out. So I decided to make a quick and easy version of my favorite Black Bean Enchilada recipe. First, I started with the Burrito recipe, for the filling.
Speedy Black Bean ‘n’ Cheese Burritos
Ingredients
- 1 Tbsp. vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup sliced green onions
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 can (15 oz.) black beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 jar (12 oz.) salsa, divided
- 1-1/2 tsp. chili powder
- 2 cups (8 oz.) Shredded Cheddar Cheese, divided
- 8 (7-inch) flour tortillas
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup sliced black olives
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
Directions
- Heat oil in large skillet over medium heat; add onions and garlic, cook 2 minutes. Stir in beans, 1/4 cup salsa and chili powder; cook 3 minutes; remove from heat. Stir in 1-1/2 cups cheese.
- Spread 1/3 cup bean mixture down center of each tortilla. Roll up; place seam-side down in greased 11×9-inch baking dish. Spoon remaining salsa evenly over tortillas; sprinkle with remaining cheese. Bake in preheated 400°F oven 15 minutes or until hot. Garnish with sour cream, olives and cilantro.
Here’s how the chili looks at the end of step 1. Yummy. Notice the gorgeous Le Creuset casserole dish that I got for my birthday. YAY! I LOVE IT. Works well on the stove, in the oven, whenever, wherever. I pink puffy heart my Le Creuset pieces.
Anyway, after you roll up the burritos and line them nicely in your lovely Le Creuset baking dish that you got for Christmas (!!!), you then cover them with your favorite enchilada sauce. You could make one from scratch, you could use red or green, whatever. This is a quick dish, so I used a canned green sauce, which I prefer to the red. Then top with cheese and cover with foil. Bake in 400 degree oven until hot and bubbly, about 15 minutes. Garnish with your favorite yummys, like sour cream, cilantro, avocado, olives, whatever floats your boat. Delicious.
