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.

Time 1h10m

Yield 5-6 enchiladas, 2-3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

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

Steps:

  • Prepare Enchilada Sauce #402189.
  • As it simmers, fry the ground beef and onions - season well with salt and pepper.

  • Stir in half of the can of black beans (or more if you prefer!) and 3/4 cup of the shredded cheese.
  • Assemble enchiladas by placing several tablespoons of filling in the tortilla and rolling it up tightly.
  • Place 1 cup of Enchilada Sauce #402189 in the bottom of the casserole (enough to cover the bottom).
  • Place enchiladas side by side in the pan, top with remaining enchilada sauce and sprinkle remaining cheddar cheese on top.
  • Bake in a covered casserole pan at 350°F for 30-40 minutes, until tortillas are tender and heated through.

5 teaspoons red chili powder

  • Combine in large skillet ground beef, onion, garlic, salt and pepper.

  • Prepare the sauce by mixing all ingredients in medium bowl with a wire whisk until butter has melted.

  • Lay the soaked tortilla in your baking pan and add one serving spoon of the meat mixture lengthwise along one end of tortilla then roll it up from there (Note that there should be about 2 serving spoons of meat left when you are done with filling all tortillas).
  • When done rolling each one make sure to place it so that open end of tortilla is on the bottom to avoid spillage.
  • Repeat with all tortillas.
  • Add remaining meat mixture and remaining sauce evenly on top of enchiladas.
  • Cover with aluminum foil and bake 15 minutes.
  • Remove from oven, remove foil, cover with grated cheese and return to oven for 5 minutes uncovered, or until all cheese has melted.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the enchiladas will be. Look for fresh, flavorful ingredients, and don't be afraid to experiment with different brands and varieties.
  • Don't overcook the meat: Overcooked meat is tough and chewy. Cook the beef until it is just cooked through, then remove it from the heat and let it rest for a few minutes before shredding.
  • Use a flavorful enchilada sauce: The enchilada sauce is what really makes this dish special. Choose a sauce that is flavorful and has a good balance of spices. You can make your own enchilada sauce, or you can use a store-bought sauce.
  • Don't overfill the enchiladas: Overfilled enchiladas are difficult to roll and will fall apart easily. Fill the enchiladas with just enough filling so that they are plump, but not overstuffed.
  • Bake the enchiladas until they are golden brown: This will help to ensure that the enchiladas are cooked through and that the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Conclusion:

Black beans and beef enchiladas are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. With a few simple tips, you can make enchiladas that are sure to impress your family and friends.
