Description

This vegetarian recipe for Mexican-style avocado enchiladas features black beans, Cheddar cheese, and fresh avocado. They are easy to prepare and eat.

Ingredients

2 1/2 cups grated sharp Cheddar cheese, divided
2 large avocados, diced
1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
1 small red bell pepper, diced
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
2 (12 fluid ounce) cans red enchilada sauce
10 corn tortillas
1 cup sour cream
1/4 cup pico de gallo, or to taste
1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro, or to taste

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2 Combine ¾ cup Cheddar cheese, avocados, black beans, bell pepper, salt, cumin, garlic powder, and onion powder in a medium bowl; gently toss together.
3 Pour 1 can enchilada sauce into bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish. Divide avocado mixture between corn tortillas. Roll tortillas to enclose filling; place seam-sides down into the baking dish. Top with remaining 1 can enchilada sauce; sprinkle with remaining 1 ¾ cups Cheddar cheese.
4 Bake in the preheated oven just until cheese is melted and filling is heated through, about 20 minutes. Top with sour cream, pico de gallo, and cilantro.
