Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tablespoon olive oil

- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add the minced garlic, chili powder, cumin, and oregano to the skillet. Cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
- Stir in the rinsed black beans, frozen corn, and chopped cilantro. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring gently, until the corn is heated through.
- Warm the tortillas briefly in a dry skillet or microwave to make them pliable.
- Spoon the black bean mixture into the center of each tortilla and roll them up.
- Pour half of the enchilada sauce into the bottom of a 9×13 inch baking dish.
- Arrange the rolled enchiladas seam-side down in the baking dish.
- Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the enchiladas.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the top.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the sauce is bubbly and the cheese is melted and golden.
Notes
- For extra flavor, you can add your favorite vegetables like bell peppers or zucchini to the filling.
- Serve with a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt and fresh salsa for a complete meal.
- If you prefer a spicier enchilada, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the filling or use a spicier enchilada sauce.
