Beef and Bean Enchiladas
This dish is a luscious, hearty rendition of a classic Mexican favorite, marrying the robust flavors of seasoned beef and creamy beans wrapped in a tender tortilla. A sprinkle of cheese and a drizzle of homemade enchilada sauce elevate it to a glorious symphony of flavors, perfect for any supper gathering.
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp olive oil extra virgin preferred
- 1 lb ground beef preferably grass-fed
- 1 can beans 15 oz, black or pinto, drained and rinsed
- 1 packet taco seasoning about 2 tablespoons, or homemade
- 8 small cups flour tortillas 8-inch size
- 2 cups enchilada sauce preferably homemade
- 1 cup shredded cheese Cheddar or Mexican blend
- ¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Prepare a 9x13-inch baking dish by lightly greasing it with a little olive oil.
- In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the ground beef, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon, and cook until browned, about 7 minutes.
- Add the taco seasoning to the beef, stirring to coat evenly, then mix in the beans. Allow them to cook together for another 3 minutes to combine flavors.
- Spoon about 1/4 cup of the beef and bean mixture into each tortilla, roll them up, and place seam-side down in the prepared baking dish.
- Pour the enchilada sauce evenly over the tortillas and sprinkle with the shredded cheese.
- Bake in the preheated oven until the cheese is bubbly and golden, about 25 minutes.
Notes
For a smokier flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of smoked paprika to the beef. This dish can be made vegetarian by substituting the beef with additional beans or mushrooms.
