Method
Enchilada Filling Preparation
Sauté Vegetables
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
Add Garlic and Meat
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute. Add the ground beef or shredded chicken, cooking until browned and fully cooked, about 7-10 minutes.
Season the Filling
Sprinkle in the cumin, chili powder, and salt. Stir to combine and let cook for an additional 2 minutes.
Add Beans and Corn
Fold in the black beans and corn kernels. Cook for another 3-5 minutes until heated through. Remove from heat and set aside.
Mix in Cheese
Add 1 cup of shredded cheese to the filling mixture, stirring until melted and combined.
Enchilada Sauce Preparation
Combine Ingredients
In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the tomato sauce, broth, cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and sugar.
Simmer Sauce
Bring the mixture to a simmer, reduce the heat to low, and let it cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Assembling Enchiladas
Preheat Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Fill Tortillas
On a flat surface, take a corn tortilla and spoon about 1/4 cup of the filling into the center. Roll the tortilla tightly around the filling and place seam-side down in a baking dish.
Repeat Filling
Continue filling and rolling the remaining tortillas until all the filling is used.
Top with Sauce
Pour the enchilada sauce evenly over the rolled tortillas in the baking dish, ensuring they are well coated.
Add Cheese
Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheese on top of the sauce.
Baking
Bake Enchiladas
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
Uncover and Brown
After 20 minutes, remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
Garnish and Serve
Remove from the oven, garnish with chopped cilantro, and serve with sour cream on the side.
