Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1.25 cups milk
• 2 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons butter, melted
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 medium onion, finely chopped
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 pound ground beef
• 0.75 cup black beans, drained and rinsed
• 0.75 cup corn kernels
• 2 tablespoons tomato paste
• 1 cup canned diced tomatoes
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 0.5 teaspoon paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
• 0.5 cup sour cream (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, milk, eggs, melted butter, and salt. Whisk until smooth to create the crêpe batter. Set aside to rest for 15 minutes.

Step 2

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease with butter or oil. Pour about 1/4 cup of batter into the skillet and swirl to coat the bottom evenly. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the edges lift slightly, then flip and cook for another 30 seconds. Repeat with the remaining batter to make 8 crêpes. Stack them on a plate and cover with a clean towel to keep warm.

Step 3

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute.

Step 4

Add the ground beef to the skillet and cook, breaking it apart with a spoon, until browned. Drain any excess fat.

Step 5

Stir in the black beans, corn, tomato paste, diced tomatoes, ground cumin, chili powder, paprika, and salt. Simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens and is well combined. Stir in half of the shredded cheddar cheese.

Step 6

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 7

Lay out each crêpe on a flat surface. Spoon about 3 tablespoons of the beef and bean filling into the center of each crêpe. Roll them up tightly and place them seam-side down in a greased baking dish.

Step 8

Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheddar cheese over the top of the filled crêpes.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 10

Garnish with fresh cilantro and a dollop of sour cream, if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
