How to Make Bean and Cheese Enchiladas
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onions and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in the cooked black beans and ground cumin, mixing well. Heat for an additional 2-3 minutes.
Spoon a generous amount of the bean mixture into each corn tortilla, sprinkle with shredded cheese, and roll tightly.
Place the rolled tortillas seam-side down in a greased baking dish.
Pour the enchilada sauce generously over the tortillas.
Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheese over the top.
Bake for about 20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Optional: Top with fresh cilantro for added flavor and color.
