Yield 10 enchiladas

Number Of Ingredients 8

10 medium flour tortillas
3 cups shreddded cheese
1 can black beans
1/2 onion, chopped
1-2 cups of tomato sauce
1 teaspoon oregano
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

While the sauce is cooking, mix together 2 and a half cups of the cheese, the black beans, and the onion in a bowl. Get two large plates and two 8 by 12 glass pans. Generously layer tomato sauce and tortillas so that each tortilla is covered in sauce. One by one, place the tortillas on the other plate, fill with the cheese mixture, wrap, and place in pans. Bake at 350 for 25 minutes.

Tips:

  • If you don't have a griddle, you can cook the tortillas in a large skillet over medium heat.
  • Be careful not to overstuff the tortillas, or they will be difficult to roll up.
  • If the enchiladas are too dry, add a little more enchilada sauce or water before baking.
  • Serve the enchiladas with your favorite toppings, such as sour cream, guacamole, or salsa.
