Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 small onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 can (4 oz) diced green chilies
- 1 cup shredded Mexican blend cheese
- 8 small flour tortillas
- 1 can (10 oz) red enchilada sauce
- 2 chipotle peppers in adobo sauce, minced
- 1 tablespoon adobo sauce from the chipotle peppers
- 1/2 cup vegetable broth
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
- In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute.
- Add the black beans, ground cumin, chili powder, salt, black pepper, and diced green chilies to the skillet. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and set aside.
- In a small saucepan, combine the red enchilada sauce, minced chipotle peppers, adobo sauce, and vegetable broth. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
- To assemble the enchiladas, spoon a small amount of the chipotle sauce onto the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Place a spoonful of the black bean mixture and a sprinkle of shredded cheese down the center of each tortilla. Roll up the tortillas and place them seam side down in the baking dish.
- Pour the remaining chipotle sauce over the top of the enchiladas. Sprinkle with the remaining shredded cheese.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Garnish with chopped cilantro before serving. Enjoy!
