Description

A quick and delicious recipe for Beef Skillet Enchiladas that combines ground beef, black beans, and cheese, baked to perfection.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 can (15 ounces) black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 can (10 ounces) diced tomatoes with green chilies
  • 1 cup corn (fresh, frozen, or canned)
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 8 small corn tortillas
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
  • Sour cream (optional, for serving)

Instructions

  1. In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat if necessary.
  2. Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet. Cook until the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Stir in the black beans, diced tomatoes with green chilies, corn, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
  4. While the mixture is cooking, preheat your oven to 375°F.
  5. Cut the corn tortillas in half and layer them in the skillet over the beef mixture. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly on top.
  6. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
  7. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve with sour cream if desired.

Notes

  • For a spicier kick, add diced jalapeños or a dash of hot sauce to the beef mixture.
  • Substitute ground turkey or chicken for a leaner option, or use a plant-based meat alternative for a vegetarian version.
