Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon chili powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 15 ounces diced tomatoes, canned
• 1 cup black beans, drained and rinsed
• 2 cups enchilada sauce
• 10 corn tortillas
• 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped (optional)
• 0 sour cream (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish lightly with olive oil or cooking spray.

Step 2

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and cook until browned and no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes. Use a wooden spoon to break it into small crumbles.

Step 3

Add the chopped onion to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes, until softened. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Sprinkle in the chili powder, cumin, and smoked paprika. Stir to combine and allow the spices to toast briefly, about 30 seconds.

Step 5

Add the diced tomatoes (with their juices) and black beans to the mixture. Cook for 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld. Remove the skillet from the heat.

Step 6

Spread 1/4 cup of the enchilada sauce onto the bottom of the greased baking dish to prevent sticking.

Step 7

Warm the tortillas slightly in the microwave, wrapped in a damp paper towel, for about 15 seconds to make them pliable.

Step 8

Spoon about 1/4 cup of the beef and bean filling down the center of each tortilla. Sprinkle a little shredded cheddar cheese on top of the filling, then roll up the tortilla tightly.

Step 9

Place the rolled tortillas seam-side down in the prepared baking dish. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.

Step 10

Pour the remaining enchilada sauce evenly over the rolled tortillas, making sure to cover them completely. Sprinkle the cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses evenly over the top.

Step 11

Bake the enchiladas in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and golden in spots.

Step 12

Remove the dish from the oven and let the enchiladas rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped cilantro, if desired.

Step 13

Serve warm with sour cream on the side. Enjoy your delicious Chili Cheese Enchiladas!
