Gluten-Free Beef and Bean Enchiladas Recipe

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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Bake the Enchiladas:
    • Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  5. Serve:
    • Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve with sour cream on the side, if desired.
