Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 of a white onion diced
  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • 2 teaspoons chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoon chopped cilantro
  • 1/2 cup frozen corn
  • 1 cup low sodium black beans drained and rinsed
  • 15 ounces red enchilada sauce
  • 5 corn tortillas cut into triangles
  • 1 cup shredded Colby jack cheese

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425° F.  Cut the corn tortillas into triangles. 
  • In a large oven safe skillet, cast iron if you have one, heat the olive oil. Add in the onion, ground beef, salt, pepper, chili powder, cumin, and garlic powder. Use a wooden spoon or spatula to crumble the beef and brown it and the onion until cooked through.
  • Add in the black beans, corn, cilantro, and enchilada sauce and stir together until combined. Add the corn tortillas to the beef filling and stir until they're coated in the sauce. Top with cheese and then place the enchilada skillet into the oven and bake for 10-15 minutes or until it's bubbly and the cheese is melted. Remove from the oven and add any toppings.
