Tips:

  • Prep the Ingredients: Before you start cooking, make sure all the ingredients are prepped and measured. This will help you save time and ensure that you have everything you need.
  • Cook the Black Beans: If you're using dried black beans, make sure to soak them overnight or for at least 8 hours before cooking. This will help them cook faster and more evenly.
  • Use Fresh Spinach: Fresh spinach is best for this recipe, but you can also use frozen spinach if that's all you have. Just be sure to thaw it and squeeze out any excess water before using.
  • Make the Enchilada Sauce: The enchilada sauce is a key component of this dish, so make sure to take your time and make it right. Use a good quality chili powder and cumin, and simmer the sauce for at least 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  • Assemble the Enchiladas: When assembling the enchiladas, be sure to spread a thin layer of enchilada sauce on the bottom of the baking dish. This will help prevent the tortillas from sticking.
  • Bake the Enchiladas: Bake the enchiladas for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the tortillas are heated through.

Conclusion:

Black bean and spinach enchiladas are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for any occasion. They're packed with protein and fiber, and they're also a good source of vitamins and minerals. Serve them with your favorite toppings, such as salsa, guacamole, or sour cream, and enjoy!
