Description

A delightful one-pan meal that captures the flavors of traditional enchiladas, packed with savory ground beef, black beans, and veggies, topped with melted cheese.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 can (10 oz) enchilada sauce
  • 1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup corn, frozen or canned
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)
  • 1 bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)
  • Tortilla chips or tortillas for serving

Instructions

  1. Brown the beef in a large skillet over medium heat until browned, breaking it apart as it cooks; drain excess fat.
  2. Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, and bell pepper; cook until vegetables soften, about 5 minutes.
  3. Stir in the enchilada sauce, black beans, corn, chili powder, salt, and pepper to combine.
  4. Bring the mixture to a simmer; cook for about 5 minutes. Sprinkle cheese on top, cover, and cook until melted, about 2-3 minutes.
  5. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve warm with tortilla chips or tortillas.

Notes

Use lean ground beef to minimize grease; feel free to add more vegetables or use plant-based protein for a vegetarian option.
