Ingredients

  • 8 small whole-wheat or flour tortillas
  • 2 cups mixed vegetables bell peppers, zucchini, onions, corn, carrots—your call
  • 1 cup black beans drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup shredded cheese cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a Mexican blend
  • 2 cups enchilada sauce green or red—your choice
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional toppings: avocado cilantro, sour cream or a dairy-free alternative

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a baking dish so your enchiladas don’t stick around like an awkward party guest.
  • Sauté the veggies in olive oil over medium heat for 5–7 minutes until they’re tender-crisp. Season with cumin, salt, and pepper. Think of it as a quick rain shower of flavor.
  • Stir in black beans and cook 1 more minute. Remove from heat and let cool slightly so you don’t steam the filling in your hands.
  • Warm the tortillas just a bit to make them pliable. Spoon a generous filling along the center of each tortilla, roll tightly, and place seam-side down in the baking dish.
  • Pour enchilada sauce over the rolled tortillas, making sure each one is coated. Sprinkle the shredded cheese on top.
  • Bake for 20–25 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbling. If you like extra toasty edges, give it a few extra minutes, watching closely.
  • Cool for a couple of minutes, then serve with your favorite toppings. Optional: squeeze lime over the top for a bright pop.
