Description
A quick and comforting recipe for beef enchiladas made with just five ingredients – perfect for busy weeknights.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 can (10 oz) enchilada sauce
- 8 flour tortillas
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)
- 1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Drain and rinse the black beans. Set out the tortillas, shredded cheese, and enchilada sauce so everything is ready.
- In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned, breaking it up with a spoon. Cook for 6–8 minutes until no pink remains. Drain any excess fat.
- Stir half of the enchilada sauce into the skillet with the cooked beef. Add the drained black beans and heat through for about 2–3 minutes. Taste and add a pinch of salt or pepper if needed.
- Spoon a portion of the beef and bean mixture down the center of each tortilla. Roll each tortilla tightly and place seam-side down in a baking dish.
- Pour the remaining enchilada sauce evenly over the rolled tortillas. Sprinkle shredded cheese on top. Bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
- Remove from oven and let rest for 3–5 minutes. Serve warm.
Notes
For additional flavor, sauté diced onion or garlic with the beef. Serve with lime, sour cream, or salsa for extra brightness.
