Step-by-Step Instructions

  2. In a large skillet, heat a splash of olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until soft.
  3. Add minced garlic, chili powder, cumin, and oregano to the skillet. Stir for about 1 minute.
  4. Introduce black beans, corn, and chopped cilantro into the skillet. Season with salt and pepper, cook for an additional 3 to 4 minutes.
  5. Warm the tortillas one by one to make them pliable for rolling.
  6. Take a tortilla, spoon a generous amount of filling in the center, roll it up tightly, and place seam-side down in a greased baking dish.
  7. Pour enchilada sauce over the enchiladas and sprinkle with Monterey Jack cheese.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes until cheese is bubbly and golden.
  9. Let rest for about 5 minutes before serving.
