Before we get started with the recipe, let's go over the ingredients you'll need:
- 1 can of black beans
- 1 cup of grated cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup of chopped onion
- 1/2 cup of chopped green bell pepper
- 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil
- 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon of cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon of chili powder
- 1/4 teaspoon of salt
- 8 corn tortillas
- 1 1/2 cups of enchilada sauce
- 1/4 cup of chopped fresh cilantro (optional)
Instructions:
Step 1: Preheat your oven

Drain and rinse the black beans. In a large bowl, combine the black beans, cheddar cheese, chopped onion, chopped green bell pepper, vegetable oil, garlic powder, cumin, chili powder, and salt. Mix well.
Step 3: Heat the tortillas
In a small pan, heat the tortillas over medium-high heat until they're warm and pliable.

Spread a spoonful of enchilada sauce over each tortilla. Then, spoon the bean and cheese filling onto the center of the tortilla. Roll the tortilla tightly around the filling and place seam-side down in a 9x13 inch baking dish. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.

Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the top of the enchiladas, making sure to cover them completely. Sprinkle chopped cilantro over the top, if desired. Bake the enchiladas, uncovered, for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the enchiladas are heated through.
