Ingredients

  • 2 cups homemade red enchilada sauce
  • 2 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small red onion, chopped
  • 1 red bell pepper, chopped
  • 2 bunches broccoli (1 lb), chopped into bite sized pieces
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 6 oz kale
  • 1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 ½ cups shredded pepper jack cheese
  • ½ teaspoon salt or to taste
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 8 whole wheat tortillas
  • 2 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped
  • avocado for garnish

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Grease a 13x9 pan with cooking spray.
  • In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onions with a pinch of salt and cook, stirring often, until they are translucent and tender, about 5-7 minutes. Add the broccoli and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally for 5-7 minutes or until broccoli is bright green.
  • Add the garlic, cumin, paprika and cinnamon and cook for about 30 seconds. Add the kale, a few handfuls at a time, stirring each time until it has reduced in size. Repeat with the remaining kale. Remove from heat and stir in beans, ¼ cup cheese and ⅓ cup enchilada sauce. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Pour ¼ cup enchilada sauce onto the 13x9 pan to completely coat it. To assemble the enchiladas, spread about ½ cup of the filling into the tortilla and then wrap. Place seam side down in pan and repeat with remaining tortillas. Drizzle the rest of the enchilada sauce over the enchiladas and top with the remaining cheese.
  • Bake, uncovered for 20 minutes. Check at this point and if the cheese isn't browned enough, bake for an additional 3-6 minutes. Remove from the oven and let rest for 10 minutes. Top with some cilantro and serve.
