Black Bean and Spinach Enchiladas with Creamy Avocado-Lime Sauce
Hearty enchiladas filled with black beans, spinach, and cheese, topped with a creamy avocado-lime sauce.
Ingredients
- 1 can (15 oz), drained and rinsed Black beans
- 3 cups, chopped Spinach
- 6 slices, shredded Natural Cheese Slices
- 6 Corn tortillas
- 1 1/2 cups Salsa
- 1 large Hass Avocado
- 1/2 cup Greek Yogurt
- 2 tbsp Lime juice
- 1/2 tsp Onion powder
- 1/2 tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tsp Cumin
- 1/4 tsp Chili powder
- to taste Salt and Pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
- In a large bowl, combine black beans, spinach, half of the shredded cheese, onion powder, garlic powder, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
- Warm the tortillas slightly to make them more pliable. This can be done in a dry skillet over medium heat for a few seconds per side, or wrapped in a damp paper towel and microwaved for 15-20 seconds.
- Fill each tortilla with the black bean mixture, roll up tightly, and place seam-down in the prepared baking dish.
- Pour salsa evenly over the enchiladas, then sprinkle with the remaining shredded cheese.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until cheese is melted, bubbly, and lightly golden.
- While enchiladas are baking, prepare the avocado sauce by blending avocado, Greek yogurt, lime juice, and a pinch of salt until smooth and creamy. Add a tablespoon of water if needed to reach desired consistency.
- Let enchiladas cool for a few minutes before serving. Drizzle generously with avocado-lime sauce.
