Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 medium yellow onion diced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 8 large flour tortillas
  • 2 cups shredded Mexican blend cheese
  • 1 can 15 oz red enchilada sauce
  • 1 can 15 oz black beans, drained and rinsed

Method
 

  1. Brown. Cook ground beef with diced onion over medium-high heat for 6 to 8 minutes. Drain fat.
  2. Season. Add garlic, cumin, chili powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook 1 minute. Fold in black beans.
  3. Roll. Fill each tortilla with beef mixture and cheese. Roll tightly and place seam-side down in a greased 9x13 dish.
  4. Sauce. Pour enchilada sauce over the rolled tortillas, covering edges.
  5. Bake. Top with remaining cheese. Bake at 375°F for 20 to 25 minutes until bubbly and golden.

Notes

Warm tortillas before rolling to prevent cracking.
Cover with foil for the first 15 minutes of baking.
Let rest 5 minutes before serving for cleaner slices.
