Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb Ground beef Lean preferred
  • 1 can Black beans Drained and rinsed
  • 8 Tortillas Flour or corn, warmed
  • 2 cups Red enchilada sauce Divided
  • 2 cups Shredded cheddar cheese Divided
  • 1/2 cup Red onions Finely diced
  • 1/4 cup Cilantro Freshly chopped for garnish
  • 1/2 cup Guacamole For serving
  • 2 Lime wedges For serving

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  • In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef and diced red onions until the meat is fully cooked and the onions are softened. Drain off any excess fat.
  • Stir the drained black beans and 1/2 cup of the red enchilada sauce into the skillet with the beef. Simmer for 2 to 3 minutes until heated through.
  • Warm the tortillas to make them pliable. Spoon approximately 1/3 cup of the beef and black bean filling down the center of each tortilla, sprinkle with a pinch of cheddar cheese, and roll tightly.
  • Spread 1/2 cup of red enchilada sauce across the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Place the rolled enchiladas seam-side down in a single layer.
  • Pour the remaining 1 cup of enchilada sauce evenly over the top of the rolled tortillas and sprinkle generously with the remaining shredded cheddar cheese.
  • Bake uncovered for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the sauce is bubbly and the cheese is fully melted.
  • Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped cilantro, and serve warm with guacamole and fresh lime wedges.
