on Aug 03, 2015, Updated Jun 07, 2023 11 Comments If there is one thing that I rely on, it is simple weeknight suppers! With busy daily schedules and other family activities, I love having an arsenal of simple, scrumptious recipes to feed my family. These Beef and Bean Enchiladas are definitely one of those recipes my family enjoys! I can always trust my family to devour enchiladas when I make them – from our favorite chicken enchiladas that let the slow cooker do all the hard work to beef enchiladas that I can even make ahead of time and then just heat through and melt the cheese when we’re ready for supper.
Beef and Bean Enchilada Recipe
Those beef enchiladas are the basis for this recipe, but I decided to amp them up just a wee bit by adding in black beans. The black beans make these enchiladas even more filling! These are also so simple to make, I think they will soon be a favorite of yours too. I know they are always a hit with my family and with Sam’s friends when they visit! My beef and bean enchilada recipe includes a few simple steps that make these oh so delicious! Like making my own homemade enchilada sauce or my easy blender enchilada sauce to seasoning the beef just perfectly, to assembling and baking in the oven. If you’d rather not make your own sauce, you can easily substitute your favorite enchilada sauce from the grocery store. Or, plan ahead and make a batch for keeping in the refrigerator until you are ready to make these a few days later. Easy peasy.
How to Make Beef and Bean Enchiladas
For these enchiladas, you will need:
Ground beef Vegetable or Canola Oil Black Beans Tortillas Sour Cream Cilantro (optional) Monterey Jack or Cheddar Cheese Enchilada Sauce
Brown. Brown ground beef over medium-low heat and drain to remove any excess drippings. Stir. Add 1/4 cup enchilada sauce to the browned ground beef and stir until well-combined. Preheat. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Pour. Pour 1/2 cup enchilada sauce into the bottom of an oven safe 9×13 casserole dish. Cook. Drizzle oil into a skillet over medium-low heat and cook tortillas one at a time for about 1 minute each. Don’t allow to become crispy. Assemble. Drain tortilla and layer on beef, sour cream, cheese, beans and cilantro. Roll tortilla to keep all ingredients inside. Then place seam side down in the casserole dish. Once all enchiladas have been assembled and placed into dish, pour remaining enchilada sauce over to make sure well-covered. Top with remaining cheese. Bake. Place in oven and bake 15 minutes, or until all cheese is fully melted. Serve. Remove from oven, garnish with cilantro, if desired, and serve.
