Layered Veggie Enchilada
Serving Size: 1 Enchilada
Number of Servings: 8
Ingredients:
- 2 cups Homemade Enchilada Sauce (see Homemade Enchilada Sauce recipe on next page)
- 2 Tablespoon olive oil
- 1 cup small red onion, chopped
- 1 red bell pepper, chopped
- 1 bunch broccoli, florets removed and sliced into small, bite-sized pieces
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 5 cups baby spinach, packed
- 1 (15 ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
- ½ teaspoon salt, to taste
- Ground black pepper, to taste
- 8 (8 inch) whole wheat tortillas
- ¼ cup cilantro, chopped
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F ̊. Lightly grease a 13 by 9-inch pan.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, warm the olive oil until simmering. Add the onions and a pinch of salt.
- Cook, stirring often, until onions are tender and translucent, about 5 to 7 minutes. Add the broccoli and bell pepper, stir, and reduce heat to medium low. Cover skillet and stir occasionally for 8 to 9 minutes, or until broccoli is brighter green and starting to turn golden on the edges.
- Add cumin and cinnamon to the skillet and stir. Add the spinach a few handfuls at a time, stirring until it has reduced in size.
- Transfer the contents of the pan to a medium mixing bowl. Add the drained beans, 1/4 cup cheese and a drizzle of enchilada sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Pour 1/4 cup enchilada sauce into greased pan and evenly coat the bottom. In each tortilla, spread 1/2 cup of filling mixture down the middle, roll it up into a wrap, and place seam side down inside the pan.
- Drizzle remaining enchilada sauce over enchiladas and sprinkle over the remaining cheese.
- Bake uncovered for 20 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool for 10 minutes. Before serving, sprinkle over chopped cilantro.
