Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Pour about 1/2 cup of enchilada sauce into the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish and spread to coat.
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- Stir in the chili powder, cumin, and oregano. Cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the rinsed black beans and 1/4 cup of the enchilada sauce. Cook, stirring occasionally, and lightly mash about half of the beans with a spoon to create a creamy texture. Remove from heat.
- In a separate small skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Using tongs, fry each tortilla for 10-15 seconds per side until softened and pliable. Place on a paper towel-lined plate.
- To assemble, spoon about 3 tablespoons of the black bean mixture down the center of a tortilla. Top with a sprinkle of shredded cheese. Roll tightly and place seam-side down in the prepared baking dish. Repeat for all tortillas.
- Pour the remaining enchilada sauce evenly over the top of the enchiladas. Sprinkle with the remaining cheese.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, until the sauce is bubbly and the cheese is fully melted and slightly golden. Let cool for 5-10 minutes before serving.
- Garnish with fresh cilantro, sour cream, and avocado if desired.
Notes
Tip 1: For the best results, shred your own cheese from a block. It melts much better than pre-shredded cheese.
Tip 2: Briefly frying the corn tortillas is the secret to preventing them from becoming soggy. Don't skip this step!
Tip 3: Feel free to add 1 cup of frozen corn or a handful of spinach to the filling for extra veggies.
