Ingredients:
For the Filling:
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 small yellow onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- Salt and pepper to taste
For the Sauce:
- 1 can (15 oz) tomato sauce
- 1 tablespoon gluten-free all-purpose flour (or cornstarch for a thicker sauce)
- 2 tablespoons chili powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 2 cups chicken or vegetable broth (ensure it’s gluten-free)
- Salt to taste
Additional:
- 8-10 gluten-free corn tortillas
- 2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)
- Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)
- Sour cream for serving (optional)
Instructions:
- Make the Sauce:
- In a saucepan over medium heat, whisk together the tomato sauce, gluten-free flour, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, and onion powder.
- Slowly add the broth, whisking continuously to make sure there are no lumps.
- Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook until it thickens slightly, about 5 minutes. Season with salt to taste, then set the sauce aside.
- Prepare the Filling:
- In a skillet, cook the ground beef, onion, and garlic over medium heat until the beef is browned and the onion is tender.
- Drain any excess grease, then stir in the black beans, chili powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, then remove from heat.
- Assemble the Enchiladas:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Warm the corn tortillas in the microwave, covered with a damp paper towel, to make them more pliable.
- Spread a thin layer of the sauce on the bottom of a baking dish.
- On each tortilla, place a portion of the beef and bean filling and a sprinkle of cheese. Roll up the tortilla and place it seam side down in the baking dish.
- Pour the remaining sauce over the assembled enchiladas and top with the remaining cheese.
- Bake the Enchiladas:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Serve:
- Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve with sour cream on the side, if desired.
