Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- ½ can black beans, rinsed and drained (7.5 ounces)
- 1½ cups red enchilada sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes, crushed
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 5 small corn tortillas (6-inch)
- 2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
- avocado, sour cream, cilantro, and green onions (optional garnish)
Instructions
- In a large 12-inch frying pan over high heat, brown the ground beef until it is no longer pink and drain fat.
- Add in black beans, enchilada sauce, garlic powder, crushed red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper then stir well to mix. Reduce heat to low heat, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes.
- Slice tortillas into strips (about 1-inch wide and 2-inches long).
- Stir in tortilla strips and shredded cheese until the cheese is melted. Simmer an additional 5 minutes.
- Serve hot.
Notes
- The enchilada sauce adds flavor and spice to the dish. Choose the sauce based on the brand and level of heat you prefer.
- For an even quicker cooking time, ground beef can be cooked ahead of time. Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to a month.
- Use a lid on the skillet to melt the cheese quicker during the last few minutes.
