Ingredients
  

Main
  • 8 corn tortillas
  • 1 can 15 oz black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup corn fresh or frozen
  • 1 red bell pepper diced
  • 1 small onion chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 can 10 oz enchilada sauce
  • 1 avocado sliced (for topping)
  • Cilantro for garnish

Equipment

  • Large skillet
  • Baking dish
  • Mixing bowl
  • Knife and cutting board
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Method
 

  1. In a large skillet, heat a splash of oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until soft, about 5 minutes.
  2. Stir in the garlic, red bell pepper, and corn. Cook for another 3 minutes until the peppers are tender.
  3. Combine the black beans, chili powder, and cumin. Stir well to ensure all the flavors meld together.
  4. Gently warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet or microwave to make them pliable.
  5. Take a warmed tortilla and spoon about 1/4 cup of the filling onto the center. Roll it tightly and place it seam-side down in a baking dish.
  6. Once all tortillas are filled and arranged, pour the enchilada sauce evenly over the top.
  7. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and bake the enchiladas for 20 minutes.
  8. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Top with avocado slices and cilantro before serving.

Notes

For extra flavor, try adding a sprinkle of nutritional yeast on top before baking.
