Equipment
Method
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray and set aside.
- In a large skillet for the enchilada sauce, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium heat. Add diced onion and kosher salt. Saute until translucent, about 5 minutes.
- In a separate skillet, cook ground beef (or chicken), seasoning with salt and pepper. Add diced onion and cook until meat is cooked through, about 5 minutes.
- Stir chili powder and cumin into onion for the enchilada sauce, cook for about thirty seconds. Then stir in all-purpose flour. Slowly whisk in chicken stock, then add tomato sauce and minced garlic. Simmer for 5 minutes.
- Once beef (or chicken) is cooked, remove from heat, drain fat, and stir in green chiles and black beans.
- Optionally, transfer enchilada sauce to a blender and blend until smooth. Pour 1/2 cup sauce into the bottom of prepared baking dish. Pour 1/2 cup of sauce into the beef (or chicken) mixture.
- Dip 6 tortillas in remaining sauce to coat and line the bottom of the casserole dish. Divide beef (or chicken) mixture in half, add half on top of tortillas, and top with 1 cup cheese.
- Dip remaining 6 tortillas in sauce and top with remaining beef (or chicken) mixture and 2 cups Colby Jack cheese.
- Bake uncovered for 20 minutes or until cheese is bubbly.
Notes
- Can replace ground beef with ground chicken for a lighter option.
- Customize with additional toppings such as diced tomatoes, sliced jalapenos, or chopped cilantro.
- Allow the casserole to cool slightly before serving to avoid burning your mouth.
