- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Coat a 9 x 13-inch casserole dish with cooking spray.
- Bake the tortillas in a single layer on baking sheets for about 10 minutes or until crisp. Set aside to cool.
- In a large skillet set over medium-high heat, combine the tomatoes and their juice, green onions, onion, salsa, and cumin. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to low, and simmer, uncovered, for 8 minutes.
- Stir in the soup and black beans, and cook 5 minutes or until heated through.
- Spread one-third of the bean mixture over the bottom of the prepared casserole dish. Top with half of the tortillas, overlapping as necessary, and sprinkle over 1 cup of the cheese. Add another third of the bean mixture, top with the remaining tortillas, and sprinkle on 1 cup of the cheese. Finish the layers with the last third of the bean mixture and remaining 1/2 cup cheese.
- Bake the casserole for 25 to 30 minutes or until heated through, and serve hot.
- notes
- Vegetarian friendly!
- If you find yourself short on time, feel free to buy baked tortilla shells from the grocery store instead of toasting them yourself.
Tips:
- Soak the corn tortillas in hot water for a few minutes before filling and rolling them. This will make them more pliable and less likely to crack.
- Use a variety of cheeses in your enchilada casserole. A good combination is cheddar, Monterey Jack, and queso Oaxaca. You can also add some crumbled cotija cheese for a salty, tangy flavor.
- Don't overfill the tortillas. They should be filled just enough so that you can roll them up without them bursting.
- Place the enchiladas seam-side down in the casserole dish. This will help to prevent them from unrolling.
- Cover the enchiladas with enchilada sauce and then sprinkle with cheese. This will help to keep them moist and flavorful.
- Bake the enchilada casserole for 20-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Serve the enchilada casserole immediately with your favorite toppings, such as sour cream, guacamole, salsa, and chopped cilantro.
Conclusion:
Bean and cheese enchilada casserole is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover beans and cheese. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can have a delicious and satisfying meal that the whole family will enjoy.
