Black Bean and Rice Enchiladas
Say goodbye to boring meals and hello to a taste explosion! These enchiladas are stuffed with black beans and rice, making them heartily satisfying and perfect for both meat lovers and veggie enthusiasts. So let’s kick off the fiesta!
Ingredients you’ll need:
- 1 cup cooked rice (like a fluffy cloud!)
- 1 can (15 ounces) black beans, rinsed and drained (like tiny protein-packed superheroes)
- 1 cup corn (frozen or fresh — it’s your call!)
- 1 cup salsa (bring the heat or keep it chill)
- 1 tsp ground cumin (because spices are friends)
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend for that melty goodness)
- 8 small tortillas (flour or corn, whatever makes your heart sing!)
- Chopped cilantro for garnish (because looking fancy is essential)
Instructions to make the magic happen:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (because nobody wants cold enchiladas).
- In a large bowl, mix together the cooked rice, black beans, corn, half of the salsa, and cumin. Stir until ingredients become a happy family.
- In a lightly greased baking dish, pour a little of the remaining salsa at the bottom to keep things saucy.
- Now, take a tortilla, throw in a generous scoop of your filling, and roll it up like it’s the best burrito you’ve ever wrapped. Place it seam-side down in the baking dish.
- Repeat the roll-and-place process until you’ve packed all your enchiladas into the dish, looking all snuggly together.
- Pour the rest of the salsa over the top, sprinkle with shredded cheese (let’s be real, more cheese is always better), and bake for 20-25 minutes until everything is bubbly and golden.
- Once out of the oven, garnish with fresh cilantro and prepare to impress your taste buds!
