Equipment

  • 9x13 cooking pan Any size around this size works!

Ingredients

  • 15oz can black beans
  • 4oz can green chiles (I prefer mild, tailor to needs)
  • 2.5 cups enchilada sauce (homemade or store bought)
  • 10 6-inch tortillas (corn or flour)
  • 1 bunch chopped fresh spinach
  • 2 handfuls tomatoes (I used cherry tomatoes)
  • 3 cups shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions

  • In small bowl combine the black beans, green chiles, chopped spinach, and tomatoes
  • Pour about 1/2 cup of enchilada sauce into the 9x13 tray
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees fahrenheit
  • Lightly coat both sides of 6-inch tortilla then transfer to plate and put about 3/4 tbsp of the bean mixture and top with shredded cheese
  • Roll and place seam of tortilla down into baking dish with enchilada sauce
  • Repeat till you have used all tortillas and place them as closely together as possible in the pan and pour leftover enchilada sauce evenly over tortillas and top with remaining cheese
  • Bake for 18 minutes with tin foil on top of pan (to keep from burning)
  • Remove from oven to remove tin foil off the pan, then place back in oven with broil (high heat) for 2 minutes to ensure crispiness of enchiladas
  • Remove from oven once cheese is melty and bubbly
  • Let cool for a few minutes and garnish to your preference
