BLACK BEAN & CORN ENCHILADAS (WITH OR WITHOUT CHICKEN)
These are great and so easy!!!! The original recipe does not call for chicken, but sometimes i do add it for my husband. You can use corn tortillas or flour, I use flour because that way they dont split. One pan I use red sauce for hubby and second pan I do green sauce for me. Iam not exactly sure how many these make because when you add chicken it makes more then usual. UPDATE: 2-09: I APOLIGIZE FOR THE SAUCE AMOUNT. IT IS THE LARGER CAN YOU NEED NOT THE 10 OZ SIZE. I USE THAT SIZE USUALLY BECAUSE I USE ONE GREEN AND ONE RED(GREEN FOR ME RED FOR HUBBY) I WILL CHANGE THE SIZE NOW!

SONORAN BLACK BEAN & CORN ENCHILADAS
To make this dish completely vegetarian, use soy based cheese and sour cream substitutes. I believe white corn is less likely to have GM contamination, so that's what I use. This very mild. Add jalapenos or use a spicy enchilada sauce if you enjoy spicy food. Serve with Spanish rice and a tossed green salad.

Steps:
- Using cooking spray, spray the bottom of 2 8" or 9" cake pans. Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Drain black beans and corn.
- Saute the onions and garlic in the oil on medium heat. (If you are adding hot peppers, add them here) When soft and translucent, add the corn, beans, tomato sauce, salt and cumin. Stir to combine, and allow to heat through.
- When bean mixture is hot through, prepare the enchiladas:.
- Pour the enchilada sauce onto a plate or soup plate. Dip a tortilla into the sauce, making sure to coat both sides of the tortilla.
- Lay the first tortilla in one of the pans and spoon about 1/6 of the bean mixture on it.
- Sprinkle 1/8 of the cheese over the filling. Dip another tortilla in the sauce, lay it over the first tortilla and add bean mixture and cheese as before. Continue with the third tortilla. The last tortilla on each stack does not get bean mixture, only cheese. Make two stacks of 4 tortillas each.
- Gently spoon the remainder of the enchilada sauce over the tortillas.
- Bake at 350°F for 20-30 minutes, until hot through and cheese is melted. Serve immediately, with sour cream on the side.

BLACK BEAN & CORN ENCHILADAS
Easy meatless enchiladas. You can skip the first step and use a store-bought enchilada sauce to save time, but I always make my own as I've never found a jarred brand that I've liked. These are great topped with freshly made guacamole and served with cilantro-lime rice.

Steps:
- Make the enchilada sauce: Combine chili powder, flour, cocoa powder, oregano, cumin and garlic in a small saucepan. While whisking, slowly add water one tablespoon at a time until a fairly thick paste forms. Whisk in stock, bring to boil and then lower hit and simmer for 5 minutes, or until the mixture thickens. Now whisk in the tomato sauce, bring to a boil, then lower heat and simmer for 10 minutes, uncovered. You can add salt at this point, but if your chili powder has salt (as most do) you might want to skip it or use only a small amount. Remove from heat and set sauce aside for now.
- Preheat oven to 350F.
- Heat the olive oil in a saucepan over medium-high heat, then add the onion and bell pepper. Saute for about five minutes, then add the garlic and chipotle peppers and cook for 2-3 minutes longer.
- Stir in the black beans WITH can liquid. Stir well. Now add the drained corn, cumin, oregano and salt. Bring to a boil, then lower heat and simmer uncovered for 30 minutes, while stirring every 10 minutes. You want most of the flavorful can liquid to get absorbed/evaporate.
- Once the beans & corn are done, remove from heat and stir in lime juice and cilantro.
- Finally, construct your enchiladas! Spray a 13x9inch baking dish with cooking spray. Spread about a third of the enchilada sauce over the bottom of the dish.
- Spoon about 1/2 cup bean & corn mixture in the middle of a tortilla. Roll up; place seam side down in baking dish. Repeat one by one with remaining tortillas.
- Spoon the remaining sauce over the enchiladas evenly. Place in oven and bake for 40-45 minutes.
- Let enchiladas cool for at least 5 minutes before eating. Sprinkle with Cotija cheese just before serving.

Tips:
- Prep your ingredients: Before you start cooking, make sure all your ingredients are prepped and measured. This will help you save time and avoid scrambling during the cooking process.
- Use fresh ingredients: Fresh ingredients will give your enchiladas the best flavor. If possible, use fresh corn, black beans, and tomatoes.
- Don't overcook the chicken: If you're using chicken in your enchiladas, make sure not to overcook it. Overcooked chicken will be dry and tough.
- Use a good quality cheese: The cheese is one of the most important ingredients in enchiladas. Use a good quality cheese that melts well, such as Monterey Jack, cheddar, or queso fresco.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When you're cooking the enchiladas, don't overcrowd the pan. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from sticking together.
Conclusion:
Black bean and corn enchiladas are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. Whether you're looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal or a dish to impress your guests, these enchiladas are sure to please.
