These black bean and cheese enchiladas prove that dinner doesn’t have to be complicated to be delicious. A simple mixture of onion, cumin, black beans and Monterey Jack cheese are tucked inside flour tortillas before being rolled up and doused in enchilada sauce. After 30 to 35 minutes in the oven, these enchiladas get another layer of cheese, then they’re served with salsa and fresh cilantro, if you’d like. Want to cut down on the fat in this recipe?
