Cuisine: Mexican
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 8 corn tortillas
- 1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 cup goat cheese, crumbled
- 1 cup mango, diced
- 1/2 red onion, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
- 1 lime, juiced
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 1 cup enchilada sauce
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with cooking spray or olive oil.
- In a medium bowl, combine the drained black beans, crumbled goat cheese, cumin, and chili powder. Mix thoroughly to create the enchilada filling.
- Prepare the mango relish by combining diced mango, finely chopped red onion, chopped cilantro, and fresh lime juice in a separate bowl. Gently mix and set aside to let flavors meld.
- Warm the corn tortillas in the microwave for 30 seconds or briefly in a dry skillet to make them more pliable and prevent cracking.
- Spread a thin layer of enchilada sauce on the bottom of the prepared baking dish to prevent sticking.
- Fill each tortilla with approximately 3-4 tablespoons of the black bean and goat cheese mixture. Roll tightly and place seam-side down in the baking dish.
- Pour the remaining enchilada sauce evenly over the rolled enchiladas, ensuring they are completely covered.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, until the sauce is bubbling and the edges of the tortillas are slightly crisp.
- Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
- Serve hot, topped with the fresh mango relish and additional chopped cilantro if desired.
Tips
- Prep Ahead: To save time, you can prepare the black bean and goat cheese filling, as well as the mango relish, a few hours in advance. Just store them separately in the fridge until you’re ready to assemble the enchiladas.
- Tortilla Technique: Warming the tortillas is key to preventing them from cracking. If you’re short on time, a quick 30 seconds in the microwave will do the trick!
- Customize Your Filling: Feel free to add other ingredients to the filling, such as diced bell peppers or corn, for extra flavor and nutrition.
- Make it Spicy: If you like a kick, consider adding some diced jalapeños to the filling or drizzling hot sauce over the enchiladas before serving.
- Garnish for Flair: Elevate your dish by garnishing with additional cilantro, lime wedges, or even sliced avocado for a creamy texture that pairs perfectly with the enchiladas.
- Leftovers: These enchiladas make fantastic leftovers! Just store them in an airtight container in the fridge and reheat in the oven for a quick and satisfying meal.
