Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 cup onion, chopped fine
- 1 jalapeño, minced
- 1 Tbsp garlic, minced
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 Tbsp ground cumin
- 1 cup black beans, drained and rinsed
- 12 corn tortillas
- 4 cups Mexican shredded cheese
- Enchilada sauce
- Sliced jalapeños, for garnish
- Sour cream, for serving
- Sliced avocado, for serving

For Enchilada sauce:
- 4 dried guajillo chiles
- 2 dried ancho chiles
- 1 small onion, quartered
- 2 garlic cloves
- 3 cups water
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375ºF.
- In a large skillet, cook ground beef until starting to brown. Add in chopped onion, jalapeño, garlic, salt, pepper, smoked paprika and cumin and cook until tender.
- Remove from heat, stir in black beans and set aside.
- Pour enough enchilada sauce to cover the bottom of a 9x13 baking dish and set aside.
- To prepare enchiladas, dip tortillas, one at a time, in prepared sauce, place on a plate and fill with some of the meat mixture followed by a sprinkling of cheese. Roll tortilla, placing seam side down in prepared baking dish. Repeat with remaining tortillas.
- Cover with remaining sauce and cheese. Bake for 20–30 minutes until golden and bubbly. Enjoy with a dollop of sour cream, extra jalapeños for kick, avocado, and a sprinkling of cilantro.
Enchilada sauce
- Heat a large pot over high heat and toast guajillo, ancho chiles, onion and garlic.
- Cook, turning occasionally, until chiles are puffy and onion and garlic are charred.
- Add in remaining ingredients and bring mixture to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook until onions and chiles are soft, about 10 minutes.
- Remove from heat, allow to cool slightly before blending on high until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
