Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a baking dish with cooking spray and set aside.

  2. In a large skillet, sauté the diced onion and minced garlic in a bit of olive oil over medium heat until the onion is soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.

  3. Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted, stirring occasionally, for about 2-3 minutes.

  4. Stir in the black beans, corn kernels, ground cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper, combining all the ingredients well. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat through.

  5. Remove the skillet from the heat and gently fold in the sliced avocado to avoid smashing it too much.

  6. Warm the tortillas in the microwave for a few seconds, or wrap them in foil and place in the preheated oven for a couple of minutes to make them pliable.

  7. Spoon a generous portion of the vegetable mixture onto each tortilla, sprinkle with a generous amount of cheese, and roll up tightly. Place seam-side down in the prepared baking dish.

  8. Pour the red enchilada sauce over the rolled tortillas, making sure they are all evenly coated.

  9. Sprinkle any remaining cheese over the top of the enchiladas, cover the baking dish with foil, and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.

  10. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.

  11. Garnish with chopped fresh cilantro before serving.
