Preparation
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Step 2
Heat vegetable oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Working one at a time, fry tortilla, turning once, about 7 to 10 seconds per side, just enough to warm the tortilla. Transfer the tortilla to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Repeat with remaining tortillas.
Step 3
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil or avocado oil over medium-high heat. Add ground beef, onion, and garlic. Cook until beef is browned and no longer pink, crumbling with a wooden spoon as you go. Drain any excess grease.
Step 4
Remove the pan from heat. Stir in the black beans and green chiles. Season with cumin, salt, and pepper. Stir in 1 cup of the shredded cheese and ½ cup enchilada sauce.
Step 5
Pour a ⅓ cup of enchilada sauce into a 9×13-inch baking dish and spread around to lightly coat the bottom of the dish.
Step 6
Lay a tortilla flat on a clean work surface. Fill each tortilla evenly with the beef mixture. Roll the tortillas tightly and place in the baking dish, seam side down.
Step 7
Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the tortillas and top with the remaining shredded cheese.
Step 8
Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Remove from oven and serve warm with desired toppings.
