Enchilada Filling

Enchilada Assembly

Method

Prepare the Filling

  1. 1

    Sauté Vegetables

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and red bell pepper, and sauté until they are soft, about 5-7 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add Garlic and Spices

    Stir in minced garlic, cumin, chili powder, and salt. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

  3. 3

    Combine Remaining Ingredients

    Add black beans, corn kernels, and chopped spinach to the skillet. Mix well and cook until the spinach is wilted, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in 1 cup of shredded cheese.

Prepare the Sauce

  1. 4

    Mix Sauce Ingredients

    In a medium bowl, combine tomato sauce, cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, and salt. Mix well until combined.

Assemble the Enchiladas

  1. 5

    Prepare Tortillas

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a 9x13 inch baking dish, spread a small amount of the sauce on the bottom.

  2. 6

    Fill Tortillas

    Take a corn tortilla, fill it with about 1/4 cup of the vegetable filling, roll it up tightly, and place it seam-side down in the prepared baking dish. Repeat with all tortillas.

  3. 7

    Top with Sauce and Cheese

    Once all enchiladas are in the dish, pour the remaining sauce over the top, and sprinkle with the remaining cheese.

  4. 8

    Bake

    Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.

Serve

  1. 9

    Garnish and Enjoy

    Remove from the oven, let it cool slightly, and garnish with fresh cilantro and sour cream, if desired. Serve warm.
