Ingredients

• 2 cups (cooked, or 1 can rinsed and drained) Black beans
• 1 cup (fresh, frozen, or canned) Sweet corn kernels
• 0.5 cup (diced) Red onion
• 1 teaspoon Cumin
• 1 teaspoon Chili powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 8 medium-sized Flour tortillas
• 1.5 cups Red enchilada sauce
• 1.5 cups Shredded cheddar cheese
• 2 tablespoons (chopped, optional for garnish) Fresh cilantro
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a medium-sized skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced red onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened.

Step 3

Stir in the black beans, corn kernels, cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another 3-4 minutes until the mixture is heated through and well combined. Remove from heat.

Step 4

Spread a thin layer (about 1/2 cup) of enchilada sauce over the bottom of the greased baking dish.

Step 5

Spoon a heaping 1/4 cup of the black bean and corn mixture into the center of each tortilla. Sprinkle a little cheese (about 1 tablespoon per tortilla) over the filling. Roll the tortillas tightly and place them seam-side down in the baking dish.

Step 6

Pour the remaining enchilada sauce evenly over the rolled tortillas, making sure each one is well coated. Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheddar cheese on top.

Step 7

Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove the foil during the last 5 minutes of baking to allow the cheese to become bubbly and slightly golden.

Step 8

Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro before serving, if desired. Serve warm with your favorite toppings, such as sour cream, sliced avocado, or a squeeze of lime.
