A vibrant and delicious twist on traditional enchiladas, filled with protein-rich black beans, corn, and fresh veggies, topped with gooey cheese and enchilada sauce.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cooked black beans (canned or dry, drained and rinsed)
  • 1 cup corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned)
  • 1 bell pepper (any color), diced
  • 1 small red onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 cup cooked rice (white or brown)
  • 8–10 corn or flour tortillas
  • 2 cups enchilada sauce (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or vegan cheese)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)
  • Lime wedges for serving (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and bell pepper and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until softened.
  3. Stir in the minced garlic, cumin, and chili powder; cook for another minute until fragrant.
  4. Add black beans, corn, and rice to the skillet, mixing well. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through. Remove from heat.
  5. Spread a thin layer of enchilada sauce in a 9×13 inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
  6. Take one tortilla and spoon about 1/4 cup of the black bean mixture into the center. Roll tightly and place seam-side down in the dish. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.
  7. Pour the rest of the enchilada sauce over the top, covering evenly.
  8. Sprinkle shredded cheese over the enchiladas.
  9. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes until bubbly and golden.
  10. Let cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve with lime wedges, if desired.

Notes

These enchiladas are perfect for meal prep. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days, or freeze before baking for up to 3 months.
