Ingredients

  • 1 large yellow onion diced
  • 5 large garlic cloves minced or finely diced
  • 1 large green pepper diced
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 cup frozen corn kernels
  • 2 tablespoons cream cheese
  • 10 large flour tortillas
  • 1 ½ cups shredded mexican cheese
  • 1 15 oz can black beans, drained
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 2 teaspoons cumin
  • ½ teaspoon chili powder
  • ½ large lime juiced, plus more for serving
  • 8 oz enchilada sauce
  • avocado for serving
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Combine the onion, garlic, green pepper, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and ¼ teaspoon of salt in a large skillet
  • Sautee on medium high heat for 6-8 minutes, until the onion becomes translucent
  • Add the frozen corn kernels and sautee an additional 4-5 minutes, as the corn defrosts
  • Add the drained black beans, cream cheese, ½ cup shredded mexican cheese, smoked paprika, cumin, chili powder, and the juice of half a large lime
  • Add the salt and pepper to taste (I used an additional ½ teaspoon of each)
  • Build the veggie enchiladas using the filling and place them in a greased baking dish
  • Cover the enchiladas with enchilada sauce and the remaining mexican cheese
  • Bake the veggie enchiladas at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese becomes slightly crispy (turn up the heat if necessary towards the end for desired crisp) I broil on low the last couple of minutes to make the cheese browned, but if you do this be sure to watch closely so that you don't burn it.
  • Serve topped with fresh lime juice, sour cream and avocado slices
