BEEF AND BLACK BEAN ENCHILADAS



Beef and Black Bean Enchiladas image

This was "created" on a day with minimal ingredients in the house. I am more of a fan of ground beef rather than shredded beef but either can be used. Also, my preference for this dish is medium ground beef. I know!! More fat, but the flavor is great!! Again - your choice! I guessed on the ounces of the can of black beans - just the normal size is fine. Easy to modify to your personal taste.

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 lb ground beef
1/2 cup onion, diced
0.5 (16 ounce) can black beans

Steps:

1 & 1/4 c.Salsa, divided
1 c. rinsed canned black beans

1/2 c. Sour Cream
1/4 c. chopped cilantro

Tips:

  • Choosing the Right Beef: Opt for chuck roast, flank steak, or skirt steak for flavorful enchiladas. These cuts benefit from slow cooking and become tender when braised in sauce.
  • Preparing the Beef: Season the beef generously with a blend of chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, and salt before cooking. This will enhance its flavor and make it more flavorful.
  • Simmering the Beef: Braise the beef in a flavorful sauce made with tomatoes, peppers, onions, and spices. Simmer until the beef is fall-apart tender, ensuring it absorbs all the delicious flavors from the sauce.
  • Assembling the Enchiladas: Layer the cooked beef, black beans, and cheese between corn tortillas. Ensure the tortillas are pliable and warm to prevent cracking.
  • Baking the Enchiladas: Top the assembled enchiladas with a flavorful enchilada sauce and shredded cheese. Bake until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the enchiladas are heated through.
  • Garnishing and Serving: Garnish the baked enchiladas with fresh cilantro, chopped onions, sour cream, and guacamole. Serve immediately with your favorite sides like Mexican rice, refried beans, or a crisp salad.
