  • Author: Olivia
  • Total Time: 45 minutes

Ingredients

– 10 corn or flour tortillas
– 1 pound ground beef or shredded chicken (or any preferred protein)
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 1 cup chopped onions
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 2 cups salsa
– 1 can (15 ounces) black beans, rinsed and drained
– 1 can (8 ounces) tomato sauce
– 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a mix)
– 1 tablespoon taco seasoning or to taste
– Fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)


Instructions

Creating Lazy Enchiladas is a breeze! Just follow these simple steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. Cook the Protein: In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add onions and sauté until they are translucent. Add minced garlic, and continue cooking for 1 minute.
3. Brown the Meat: Incorporate ground beef or shredded chicken into the pan. Cook until browned, breaking it apart as it cooks.
4. Season: Stir in taco seasoning and mix it well. Add black beans, salsa, and tomato sauce. Allow everything to simmer for 5-7 minutes.
5. Layer the Base: In a large baking dish, pour a bit of the meat mixture on the bottom to prevent sticking.
6. Assemble the Enchiladas: Place a tortilla over the mixture, add another layer of the meat mixture, and sprinkle shredded cheese on top.
7. Repeat Layers: Continue layering tortillas, meat mixture, and cheese until all ingredients are used. Finish with a layer of cheese on top.
8. Bake: Cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 20 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
9. Garnish: Once baked, take the enchiladas out of the oven and let them rest for a few minutes. Sprinkle with fresh cilantro before serving.
10. Serve Warm: Cut into squares and serve hot.
