Prep: 10 min · Cook: 20 min · Yield: 4 · Method: Stovetop

Ingredients

• 1 lb ground beef
• 0.5 medium yellow onion
• 8 each corn tortillas
• 1.5 cups enchilada sauce
• 1 15-ounce can black beans
• 1 cup cheddar cheese
• 0.5 teaspoon kosher salt
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cumin

Cooking instructions

1. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and onion. Cook, breaking up the beef, until no pink remains and the beef reaches 160°F, about 8 minutes. Drain excess fat if needed. (about 8 min) — Medium-high heat; beef to 160°F
2. Stir in the salt and cumin. Cut the tortillas into 1-inch strips, then add them with the black beans and enchilada sauce. Stir until evenly combined. (about 2 min) — Medium heat
3. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until the tortilla strips soften and the sauce thickens slightly, about 5 minutes. (about 5 min) — Medium-low heat
4. Sprinkle the cheddar evenly over the skillet. Cover and cook until the cheese melts, about 2 minutes. (about 2 min) — Medium-low heat
5. Remove from the heat and rest for 2 minutes before serving. (about 2 min)
