Ingredients
  

For the Filling
  • 1 pound ground beef preferably 80/20 for flavor
  • 1 medium onion diced
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil for cooking
  • 1 cup black beans cooked and drained
  • 1 cup corn canned or frozen
  • 2 teaspoons chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
For the Sauce
  • 1 can enchilada sauce about 10 oz
  • 1 cup shredded cheese cheddar or Mexican blend
For Assembly
  • 8 small corn tortillas or flour tortillas
  • 1 cup sour cream for serving
  • 1 cup fresh cilantro for garnish

Method
 

Prepare the Filling
  1. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, and sauté until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
  2. Add the ground beef to the skillet, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Stir in the black beans, corn, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through. Remove from heat.
Assemble the Enchiladas
  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Spread a thin layer of enchilada sauce on the bottom of a baking dish.
  3. Take a tortilla, add a generous scoop of the beef filling, and roll it up tightly. Place the rolled tortilla seam-side down in the baking dish.
  4. Repeat the process with the remaining tortillas and filling.
  5. Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the rolled tortillas and sprinkle with shredded cheese.
Bake
  1. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
  2. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
Serve
  1. Remove the enchiladas from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes.
  2. Serve with sour cream and garnish with fresh cilantro.
