Enchilada Filling

Method

Prepare the Filling

  1. 1

    Cook the Beef

    In a large skillet over medium heat, add the ground beef and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat.

  2. 2

    Sauté Vegetables

    Add chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet with the beef. Cook for another 3-5 minutes until the onion is translucent.

  3. 3

    Season the Mixture

    Stir in chili powder, cumin, and salt. Cook for an additional 2 minutes.

  4. 4

    Add Beans and Corn

    Mix in the black beans and corn. Stir until everything is well combined. Remove from heat.

  5. 5

    Add Cheese

    Stir in 1 cup of shredded cheese into the filling mixture.

Make the Sauce

  1. 6

    Combine Sauce Ingredients

    In a medium bowl, combine the enchilada sauce, diced tomatoes, chili powder, cumin, and salt. Mix well.

Assemble the Enchiladas

  1. 7

    Prepare Tortillas

    Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). In a 9x13 inch baking dish, spread a thin layer of the enchilada sauce at the bottom.

  2. 8

    Fill Tortillas

    Take a corn tortilla, add a generous amount of the filling to the center, roll it up, and place seam-side down in the baking dish. Repeat this process for all tortillas.

  3. 9

    Top with Sauce and Cheese

    Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the rolled tortillas. Sprinkle the top with the remaining shredded cheese.

  4. 10

    Bake the Enchiladas

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

  5. 11

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove from the oven, let cool for a few minutes, then garnish with chopped fresh cilantro before serving.
