Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 small onion, diced
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 15 ounces canned black beans, rinsed and drained
• 5 cups fresh spinach, chopped
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 8 flour tortillas
• 2 cups red enchilada sauce
• 1.5 cups shredded cheese (cheddar or Monterey Jack)
• 0.25 cup fresh cilantro, chopped, for garnish

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Stir in the black beans, chopped spinach, cumin, chili powder, and salt. Cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the spinach is wilted and the mixture is well combined. Remove from heat.

Step 5

Spread 1/2 cup of the enchilada sauce over the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Step 6

Spoon about 1/3 cup of the black bean and spinach mixture onto the center of each tortilla. Roll up the tortilla tightly and place it seam-side down in the prepared baking dish.

Step 7

Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.

Step 8

Pour the rest of the enchilada sauce evenly over the rolled tortillas, making sure all are covered.

Step 9

Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the top.

Step 10

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

Step 11

Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve warm. Enjoy!
