### Black Bean And Avocado Enchiladas
#### Ingredients:
– 1 can (15 oz) black beans, rinsed and drained
– 1 ripe avocado, diced
– 1 small onion, finely chopped
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 teaspoon ground cumin
– 1 teaspoon chili powder
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– 1 can (15 oz) red enchilada sauce
– 8 small flour or corn tortillas
– 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)
– Fresh cilantro, chopped, for garnish
– Sour cream and salsa, for serving
#### Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
2. In a medium skillet over medium heat, sauté the onion until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds, until fragrant.
3. Stir in the black beans, diced avocado, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together. Remove from heat and set aside.
4. Warm the tortillas according to package instructions to make them pliable.
5. Pour a small amount of the enchilada sauce into the bottom of the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
6. Fill each tortilla with a generous spoonful of the black bean and avocado mixture, roll them up tightly, and place them seam-side down in the baking dish.
7. Once all the tortillas are filled and arranged in the dish, pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the top, making sure to cover each enchilada.
8. Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the sauce-covered enchiladas.
9. Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
10. Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve hot with a dollop of sour cream, salsa, and additional toppings of your choice.
