Equipment

  • 9x13 baking dish

Ingredients

  • 15 oz Seasoned Black Beans
  • 2 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 1 onion red or yellow
  • 4 oz chopped green chilies
  • 1 jalapeno, minced
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 6 tortillas I used carb friendly
  • 28 oz red enchilada sauce
  • 8 oz cheddar and pepper jack cheeses-grated

optional toppings: sour cream, pickled jalapenos, sliced black olives, sliced green onion

Instructions

  • Cook ground meat, breaking up as it cooks. Add black beans( if using seasoned do not drain), garlic, onion, green chilies and jalapenos ( if I don't have a can of green chilies I had for minced jalapeno)
  • Pour some enchilada sauce onto a rimmed sheet pan or plate. One at a time dip each tortilla into the sauce - coating each side. Layer 3 coated tortillas then 1/2 of the bean mixture, then the last three coated tortillas and finally the last of the bean mixture. Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the prepared dish. It will look a touch "watery" but the will work itself out in the oven.
  • Top with the grated cheese.
  • Bake 350 oven until good and bubbly about 30 to 45 minutes. Remove from oven and let rest to cool and tighten up. I let it rest while I put the condiments on the table.
  • Cut and serve!
