  • 1 can enchilada sauce (10 oz)
  • 8 small flour tortillas Corn tortillas can be used for a gluten-free option.

  3. Stir in the enchilada sauce and rinsed black beans, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through.
  4. Spoon the beef mixture into each tortilla and roll them up tightly, placing them seam-side down in a greased baking dish.
  5. Pour any remaining enchilada sauce over the top and sprinkle with cheese.
  6. Bake for 20 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
