Black Bean Enchiladas With Warm Salsa Verde image

With tangy tomatillos softened by creamy avocado in a Warm Salsa Verde, this Southwestern-inspired dish qualifies as contemporary comfort food. Fresh tomatillos are available in the produce section of most grocery stores. Look for firm, unblemished fruit inside a papery husk. Adapted from Rachael Ray 30-Minute Meals. Published in the June 2004 issues of Vegetarian Times.

Time 25m

Yield 8 enchiladas, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

8 corn tortillas
10 1/2 ounces Mexican blend cheese
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, divided
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 small white onions
1 jalapeno, seeded and minced
2 (15 ounce) cans black beans, drained but not rinsed
2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 tablespoons tomato paste
coarse salt
12 tomatillos, husked and halved
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 (14 ounce) can vegetable stock
1 avocado
1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano leaves (optional)

Steps:

  • Wrap tortillas in aluminum foil, and heat in oven at 275F until fillings and sauce are ready.
  • Black Bean Filling:
  • Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in large skillet, and add 1 clove of chopped garlic. Grate 1 onion into pan with a hand grater. Add half of the jalapeno. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Add beans, and mash with back of a fork. Stir in 1 teaspoon cumin and tomato paste, and season with salt.
  • Warm Salsa Verde:
  • Place tomatillos in a food processor, and pulse to a coarsely ground paste.
  • Heat remaining 1 clove of garlic in remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat in a large saucepan. When garlic begins to sizzle, grate 1 onion with a hand grater directly into pan. Add remaining jalapeno. Heat through for 1 to 2 minutes, and add ground tomatillos. Simmer for 5 minutes. Add vegetable stock, 1 teaspoon cumin and salt to taste.
  • Scoop avocado flesh out of skins and into pot. Mash with back of a fork. Return sauce to a gentle boil. Reduce heat to low until enchiladas are assembled.
  • Preheat broiler. Scoop some sauce onto bottom of a casserole dish or shallow serving platter.
  • To make an enchilada, place 1 to 2 scoops of filling down center of a tortilla, and roll. Place filled tortillas seam side down into sauce on platter or casserole. Line up tortillas, one next to another, and top with remaining sauce and grated cheeses. Melt cheeses sprinkled with oregano under broiler, and serve immediately.

The black bean enchiladas were good, but I think they would have been better with a different cheese. The mozzarella cheese was a bit too mild for my taste.

The black bean enchiladas were a bit too spicy for my taste, but they were still good. I think I'll try making them again with a milder salsa next time.

I'm not a big fan of black beans, but I thought these enchiladas were pretty good! The salsa verde really helped to balance out the flavor of the beans.
