How To Make black bean enchiladas with salsa verde

  • 1
    Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a large nonstick skillet, saute onion in oil over medium-high heat for 3 minutes. Add garlic and oregano and continue to cook 1 minute.
  • 2
    Puree half of the black beans, the chipotle chili, adobo sauce and salt in a food processor. Combine onion mixture, remaining whole beans, broth and shredded cheese with the bean puree.
  • 3
    To make Salsa Verde: Broil tomatillos and chilies in oven. Saute onion in oil over medium-high heat for 3 minutes. Add garlic and saute 1 minute. Remove membrane from poblano peppers. Place tomatillos, chilies, onion and garlic in a food processor; pulse until chopped. Add herbs, lime juice and salt. Gradually add broth; process until smooth.
  • 4
    Fry corn tortillas in a little oil to soften and seal them. Make sure oil is hot enough so they don't get saturated with oil.
  • 5
    Dip corn tortillas in sauce one at a time while filling them with a generous 1/2 cup of bean mixture and then roll up. Continue until all 8 enchiladas are completed. Place a small amount of salsa verde to just barely cover the baking dish and line each enchilada side by side (seam side down). Top with 1 cup salsa verde and crumbled queso fresco. Bake enchiladas for 10 minutes.
