This Recipe was adapted from a Betty Crocker Recipe I found online. I am well known for finding recipes and adapting them for our family’s tastes. So here it is I hope you enjoy, come back and let me know. (In red you’ll find my adaptations, you’re welcome to use them, or use the original.)
Black Bean and Cheese Enchiladas
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
1 medium onion, finely chopped (1/2 cup)
1 teaspoon ground cumin
˝ tbsp chili powder
1-2 cloves minced garlic
1 can (15 oz) black beans, rinsed and drained
1 package (11.5 oz) flour tortillas for burritos (8 tortillas), heated
I used corn tortillas instead
2 cups shredded Monterey Jack cheese (8 oz)
1 can (10 oz) enchilada sauce
You can use either red or green, we just tried green and it was de-lish!
Sliced Black Olives
1/2 cup shredded Cheddar cheese (2 oz)
Salsa and sour cream, if desired
2. Place about 3 (1-2 with smaller corn tortillas) tablespoons bean mixture in center of each warm tortilla. Top each with 1/4 cup Monterey Jack cheese. Roll up tightly; place, seam side down, in baking dish. Spoon enchilada sauce over tortillas. Add sliced black olives over top. Spray sheet of foil with cooking spray; cover baking dish with foil, sprayed side down.
3. Bake 30 to 35 minutes or until thoroughly heated. Sprinkle with Cheddar cheese. Serve enchiladas with salsa and sour cream.
I also serve this dish with some Spanish rice and fat free refried beans, or sometimes just a large salad depending on our mood. Enjoy!
