BLACK BEAN ENCHILADA CASSEROLE



Black Bean Enchilada Casserole image

Categories     Bean     Bake     Vegetarian     Dinner     Simmer     Boil

Yield makes 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

Cooking spray
10 6-inch corn tortillas
2 (14 1/2-ounce) can diced tomatoes
1 1/2 cups chopped green onions, green parts only
1 cup chopped onion
1 cup store-bought salsa or Salsa Rio Grande (page 197)
1 teaspoon ground cumin
2 (11-ounce) cans black bean soup
1 (15-ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
10 ounces reduced-fat Cheddar cheese, shredded (2 1/2 cups)

Steps:

  • 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.
