Enchiladas

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Filling

    In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the black beans, cumin, salt, and pepper. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until heated through.

  2. 2

    Assemble the Enchiladas

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a large baking dish, spread a thin layer of salsa carne or homemade red sauce at the bottom. Take a corn tortilla, fill it with a portion of the cheese and onion mixture, then roll it up and place it seam-side down in the baking dish. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.

  3. 3

    Add Sauce and Cheese

    Once all enchiladas are in the baking dish, pour more salsa carne or homemade red sauce over the top. Sprinkle the remaining cheese evenly over the enchiladas.

  4. 4

    Bake

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

  5. 5

    Serve

    Let the enchiladas cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy with additional salsa on the side.
