Ingredients

• 1 lb ground beef
• 1 medium onion, diced
• 2 cups enchilada sauce
• 6 medium flour tortillas
• 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
• 1 cup corn
• 1 can (4 oz) diced green chiles
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp chili powder
• 1 tsp ground cumin
• 0.5 tsp salt
• 0.25 tsp pepper

Directions

Step 1

In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium heat until browned and fully cooked, about 7-10 minutes. Drain any excess fat.

Step 2

Add the diced onion to the skillet with the cooked beef and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion becomes soft and translucent.

Step 3

Stir in the garlic powder, chili powder, ground cumin, salt, and pepper. Mix well to coat the beef mixture with the spices. Remove from heat.

Step 4

In a medium bowl, combine the black beans, corn, and diced green chiles. Mix well.

Step 5

Grease the inside of the crock pot with nonstick cooking spray or lightly coat with oil to prevent sticking.

Step 6

Spread a thin layer of enchilada sauce at the bottom of the crock pot.

Step 7

Place one or two tortillas (cutting to fit as necessary) over the sauce to form an even layer.

Step 8

Add a layer of the cooked beef mixture, followed by a layer of the black bean-corn mixture, and then a layer of shredded cheddar cheese.

Step 9

Pour a small amount of enchilada sauce over the layers, spreading it evenly.

Step 10

Repeat the layering process (tortillas, beef mixture, black bean-corn mixture, cheese, and sauce) until all the ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of cheese on top.

Step 11

Cover the crock pot with its lid and cook on low for 4 hours, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the flavors are fully combined.

Step 12

Once cooked, let the enchiladas rest in the crock pot for 5-10 minutes before serving.

Step 13

Cut into wedges or scoop out servings with a large spoon and garnish with your favorite toppings such as sour cream, diced avocado, chopped cilantro, or sliced jalapeños.
