Ingredients:

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 medium onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon chili powder
• 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 (10-ounce) can enchilada sauce
• 1 (4-ounce) can diced green chiles
• 1 cup black beans, rinsed and drained
• 2 cups shredded cheese (Mexican blend or cheddar)
• 8 flour tortillas
• Optional toppings: chopped cilantro, sliced jalapeños, diced tomatoes, sour cream

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
2. Cook the Beef: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until softened about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute. Add the ground beef and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon as it cooks. Drain any excess fat.
3. Season the Beef: Stir in the cumin, chili powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Cook for another 2 minutes until the spices are well combined with the beef.
4. Add the Sauce and Beans: Stir in half of the enchilada sauce, the diced green chiles, and the black beans. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until everything is heated through.
5. Assemble the Enchiladas: Spoon about 1/4 cup of the beef mixture onto each tortilla. Roll up the tortillas and place them seam-side down in the prepared baking dish.
6. Top with Sauce and Cheese: Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the top of the rolled tortillas. Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the top.
7. Bake: Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
8. Serve: Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Garnish with your favorite toppings, such as chopped cilantro, sliced jalapeños, diced tomatoes, and sour cream.
