Method

Filling Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Filling

    In a mixing bowl, combine shredded cheese, black beans, and chopped green onions. Mix well until evenly combined.

  2. 2

    Warm the Tortillas

    In a skillet over medium heat, warm corn tortillas for about 30 seconds on each side until pliable. Remove from heat.

Red Sauce Preparation

  1. 3

    Make the Sauce

    In a saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and minced garlic; sauté until onion is translucent.

  2. 4

    Add Spices and Tomatoes

    Stir in chili powder, cumin, diced tomatoes, salt, and water. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat and let cook for about 10 minutes until slightly thickened.

Assembly and Baking

  1. 5

    Fill the Tortillas

    Place a few tablespoons of the filling in the center of each tortilla. Roll them up tightly and place seam-side down in a baking dish.

  2. 6

    Add Sauce

    Pour the prepared red sauce evenly over the enchiladas, making sure to cover them completely.

  3. 7

    Bake
