The same ingredients as a taco or nachos but wrap it & bake it in the oven - I feel the shame here.

Ingredients

• 1 kg ground beef
• 1 finely chopped onion
• 2 cloves of garlic, minced
• 2 teaspoons Mexican spice mix
• Assorted vegetables (grilled capsicum, chopped tomatoes, corn, etc.), optional
• 1 can (400g) black beans, drained and rinsed
• 1 tablespoon tomato paste
• 1/4 cup water
• Soft tortillas (8-10 count)
• 250 g grated cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a blend)
• Olive oil, for drizzling
• Salsa, guacamole, sour cream, chili sauce, lime juice, and coriander, for serving

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Lightly oil an ovenproof baking dish.
2. Heat a large frypan over medium-high heat. Brown the ground beef like a burger patty, undisturbed, for 5 to 7 minutes until one side is golden and crispy.
3. Flip the beef patty and add the finely chopped onion, minced garlic, and Mexican spice mix on top. Add any optional vegetables, like grilled capsicum, chopped tomatoes, or corn. Add the drained and rinsed black beans. Continue sautéing for 15 minutes, stirring as needed, until the meat is fully cooked.
4. Add the tomato paste and 1/4 cup of water to the meat mixture. Sauté until the mixture thickens and is well combined.
5. Take each soft tortilla and spoon a generous amount of the meat mixture onto one half of the tortilla. Sprinkle grated cheese on top of the meat.
6. Fold the tortilla in half to resemble a half-moon shape. Place the filled tortillas into the baking dish, stacking them against each other until the dish is filled.
7. If there's any remaining meat mixture, distribute it around the edges of the tortillas in the baking dish. Top with the remaining grated cheese.
8. Drizzle a little olive oil over the top of the enchiladas. Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbling.
9. Once cooked, serve the enchiladas straight from the baking dish. Top with salsa, guacamole, sour cream, chili sauce, lime juice, and fresh coriander.
