Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 0.5 yellow onion (medium, chopped)
• 1 green bell pepper (chopped)
• 2 clove garlic (minced)
• 2 can black beans (15 ounce, rinsed and drained)
• 1 can diced green chiles (4 ounce, undrained)
• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon chili powder
• 8 corn tortillas
• 1 can red enchilada sauce (10 ounce, low sodium)
• 0.5 cup reduced-fat cheddar cheese (shredded)
• 2 cup shredded lettuce (shredded)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 Celsius). Lightly coat a 9x13 inch baking dish with olive oil or cooking spray.
2. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chopped yellow onion, green bell pepper, and minced garlic. Sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
3. Stir in the rinsed and drained black beans, diced green chiles, ground cumin, and chili powder. Cook for 2-3 minutes, gently mashing some of the beans with the back of a spoon to create a creamier texture.
4. Pour about 1/4 cup of the red enchilada sauce into the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Warm the corn tortillas briefly in the microwave or a dry skillet to make them more pliable.
5. Spoon about 1/4 cup of the black bean mixture onto each tortilla, sprinkle with a small amount of shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese, then roll tightly and place seam-side down in the baking dish.
6. Once all tortillas are filled and rolled, pour the remaining red enchilada sauce over them and sprinkle with the remaining shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
7. Serve hot, garnished with shredded lettuce.
