Cooking Tools Required

12-inch nonstick skillet, 9x13 inch glass baking dish, Colander, Cutting board, Measuring cups and spoons, Oven, Sharp Knives, Wooden Spatula

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 white onion ½ inch dice
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 2 teaspoon Kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 15 ounce canned black beans drained and rinsed
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 15 ounce canned Hatch red enchilada sauce Hatch brand recommended
  • 12 large corn tortilla
  • 1 ¾ cup shredded monterey jack cheese
  • 1 ¾ cup shredded cheddar cheese

For garnish:

  • 3 stalk green onion sliced
  • 2 ounce canned sliced black olives

Instructions

  • Place a large sauté pan over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. When oil is just warm add the chopped onion, sautéing for a minute. Add the ground beef, kosher salt and several grindings of pepper. When the onion is soft and ground beef is no longer pink (6-7 minutes) add the black beans, cumin and the chili powder sautéing an additional minute. Remove from heat and let cool.
  • Pour ¼ cup of the enchilada sauce on the bottom of a 2 ½ quart round casserole or an 9x13 glass baking dish. Arrange 4 tortillas, overlapping as needed over the sauce. Top with 1/3 of the beef-black bean mixture, ½ cup of the enchilada sauce, ½ cup of the Monterey Jack cheese, and ½ cup of the cheddar cheese. Repeat the layer 2 more times, finishing with ½ cup sauce and ¾ cup of each cheese.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes at 350 degrees or until casserole is heated through and cheese is melted. Top with sliced green onions and black olives. Let cool 5 minutes before cutting.
