Black Bean and Spinach Enchiladas

Ingredients:
– 1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
– 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
– 1 small onion, diced
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 teaspoon cumin
– 1 teaspoon chili powder
– Salt and pepper to taste
– 1 cup shredded cheese (such as cheddar or Monterey Jack)
– 8 small corn or flour tortillas
– 1 can (10 oz) enchilada sauce
– Optional toppings: diced tomatoes, sliced green onions, chopped cilantro, sour cream

Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2. In a large skillet, heat some olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and garlic, cooking until softened and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
3. Stir in the cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Add the black beans and chopped spinach, cooking until the spinach wilts and the mixture is heated through, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
4. Take a tortilla and spoon a generous amount of the black bean and spinach mixture onto the center. Sprinkle some shredded cheese on top.
5. Roll up the tortilla tightly and place it seam side down in a baking dish. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
6. Pour the enchilada sauce over the rolled tortillas, making sure they are evenly covered.
7. Sprinkle any remaining cheese on top of the enchiladas.
8. Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, until the enchiladas are heated through and the cheese is melted.
9. Remove the foil and broil the enchiladas for an additional 2-3 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and slightly golden.
10. Serve the enchiladas hot, garnished with diced tomatoes, sliced green onions, chopped cilantro, and a dollop of sour cream if desired.
