- 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.
