For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a tablespoon of unsweetened cocoa powder to the enchilada sauce while it simmers. To prevent tortillas from tearing, warm them slightly in a dry skillet or microwave before filling. Serve with your favorite toppings such as sour cream, guacamole, or a sprinkle of fresh cilantro.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPrepare the Enchilada Sauce: In a saucepan, heat vegetable oil over medium heat. Add flour and cook, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until smooth (1-2 minutes). Stir in chili powder and cook until fragrant (about 30 seconds). Gradually whisk in chicken stock, tomato paste, oregano, cumin, and salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened and smoothed (about 15 minutes).
02
StepPreheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly coat the inside of a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
03
StepCook the Beef: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef and cook, breaking it apart with a spoon, until browned and crumbly (5-7 minutes). Drain off any excess grease.
04
StepSauté Vegetables and Combine: In a separate skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onion, green chiles, and green bell pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables have softened (5-10 minutes). Add the cooked ground beef and black beans to the skillet. Pour in half of the prepared enchilada sauce and stir to combine. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
05
StepAssemble the Enchiladas: Spoon an even amount of the beef mixture onto the center of each tortilla. Roll the tortillas tightly around the filling and place them seam-side down in the prepared baking dish. Cover the enchiladas with the remaining enchilada sauce, then sprinkle generously with the shredded Mexican cheese blend.
06
StepBake: Bake in the preheated oven until the cheese is fully melted and bubbly, and the enchiladas are heated through (about 20 minutes).
