Ingredients

  • For the Filling:
  • 1 lb ground beef or chicken

  • 1 small onion, finely chopped

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed

  • 1 cup corn kernels (fresh or frozen)

  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin

  • 1 teaspoon chili powder

  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika

  • Salt and black pepper to taste

  • For the Tortillas:
  • 8 large flour tortillas

  • For the Topping:
  • 1 can (10 oz) enchilada sauce or salsa

  • 1 cup shredded Mexican blend cheese

  • Sliced green onions (optional)

  • Chopped fresh cilantro (optional)

  • Sliced black olives (optional)

Directions

  • Prepare the Filling:
  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • In a large skillet, cook the ground beef or chicken over medium heat until browned and cooked through. Drain any excess fat.
  • Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet, cooking until the onion is translucent.
  • Stir in the black beans, corn, shredded cheddar cheese, ground cumin, chili powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cheese is melted and the mixture is well combined. Remove from heat.
  • Assemble the Tortillas:
  • Place a large spoonful of the filling mixture in the center of each tortilla.
  • Roll the tortillas tightly, folding in the sides as you roll to enclose the filling.
  • Place the rolled tortillas seam-side down in a greased baking dish.
  • Top and Bake:
  • Pour the enchilada sauce or salsa evenly over the rolled tortillas.
  • Sprinkle the shredded Mexican blend cheese on top.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  • Serve:
  • Garnish with sliced green onions, chopped fresh cilantro, and sliced black olives if desired.
  • Serve hot with a side of sour cream, guacamole, or your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

  • You can customize the filling with your favorite ingredients such as diced bell peppers, jalapeños, or refried beans.
