    1 medium

    a packet

  • cumin

Instructions

  • 1
    Preheat oven to 350°F. Cook ground beef in a skillet over medium-high, breaking into small pieces.

    To start, preheat your oven to 350°F. In a large skillet, cook the ground beef over medium-high heat. Use a spoon to break the beef into small pieces as it cooks. This will help distribute the flavors evenly throughout the casserole.

  • 2
    Add onion, bell pepper, taco seasoning, and cumin to the skillet and cook until vegetables are tender.

    Once the ground beef is fully cooked, add the diced onion and bell pepper to the skillet. Cook until the vegetables are tender, then add the taco seasoning and cumin. Stir well to combine, ensuring all ingredients are coated with the spices.

  • 3
    Stir in cooked black beans and set the mixture aside.

    Next, stir in the cooked black beans into the beef and vegetable mixture. Make sure they are well combined, then set the mixture aside to prepare the tortillas and enchilada sauce.

  • 4
    In a separate pan, warm tortillas over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side.

    In a separate pan, warm the tortillas over medium heat for about 30 seconds on each side. This will make them more pliable and easier to roll.

  • 5
    To assemble the casserole, spread a thin layer of enchilada sauce at the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish.

    Now it's time to assemble the casserole. Start by spreading a thin layer of enchilada sauce at the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish. This will help prevent the tortillas from drying out during baking.

  • 6
    Dip each tortilla in the enchilada sauce, then fill with the beef and bean mixture and roll up.

    Dip each warmed tortilla in the enchilada sauce, coating both sides, then fill with the beef and bean mixture. Roll up the tortillas tightly and place them seam-side down in the baking dish. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.

  • 7
    Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the rolled tortillas and top with shredded cheese.

    After all the tortillas are rolled and in the baking dish, pour the remaining enchilada sauce over them. Make sure they are all coated, then sprinkle shredded cheese over the top of the casserole.

  • 8
    Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes, then remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

    Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes. This will help the casserole cook evenly and prevent the top from burning. After 25 minutes, remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

    Jag tycker om receptet! As a flexitarian who loves baking, I was excited to try out this Beef and Black Bean Enchilada Casserole recipe. Although it's not a traditional baking recipe, I appreciated the creative twist on a classic dish. The combination of seasoned ground beef, black beans, and tortillas, topped with enchilada sauce and melted cheese, sounded like a hearty and flavorful meal. I was a bit skeptical about the lack of berries or cardamom (my go-to ingredients!), but the recipe delivered on its promise of a satisfying, comforting meal. The instructions were clear and easy to follow, and the end result was a delicious, cheesy casserole that I'd definitely make again. Kudos to the recipe creator! One thing to note is that I had to make some substitutions to accommodate my dietary needs, but overall, it was a great experience. Jag rekommenderar detta recept till alla som älskar mexikansk mat!

    A solid, no-frills casserole recipe that's a bit of a Frankenstein's monster - it's got a bit of everything thrown in, but it doesn't quite live up to the sum of its parts. I mean, who doesn't love a good beef and black bean combo? It's like the comfort food equivalent of a warm hug from your favorite aunt (the one who doesn't judge you for eating an entire pizza by yourself). The taco seasoning and cumin add a nice kick, but it's not exactly the kind of thing that'll make you go 'ooh, I'm so Irish!' - I mean, where's the colcannon? Where's the boxty? Still, it's a decent effort, and I'd definitely whip it up again if I was feeling lazy and wanted something that wouldn't break the bank (or my taste buds). Just don't expect me to serve it at the next St. Patrick's Day shindig - that's just not happening.

    I appreciate the straightforward approach to this Beef and Black Bean Enchilada Casserole recipe. As someone who values efficiency, I find the preparation and cooking time reasonable. The combination of ground beef, black beans, and tortillas seems interesting, although I might consider substituting some ingredients to better suit my taste preferences. Given my background in traditional Cantonese cuisine, I was initially skeptical about the flavors, but the dish's hearty and flavorful profile aligns with my appreciation for robust flavors. I also appreciate that the recipe avoids MSG, which I find beneficial due to my mild intolerance. Overall, I believe this recipe could be a satisfying option for a casual meal, and I would consider making it again with some adjustments to suit my personal taste.

    Blimey, this Beef and Black Bean Enchilada Casserole is a real cracker! As a meat-lover, I was stoked to see a generous helping of ground beef in the mix. The addition of black beans and veggies is a nice touch, but let's be honest, it's all about the beef, innit? I was a bit miffed to see tortillas on the ingredient list, what with my mild gluten intolerance and all, but I reckon a bit of gluten won't kill me. The flavors are spot on, though - that taco seasoning and cumin really bring the dish together. I'd say it's a solid 4 out of 5, only deducting a star because it's not a traditional Irish dish, mate. Still, it's a hearty, satisfying meal that's perfect for a chilly evening. I'd definitely give it another go, maybe with a few tweaks to make it more gluten-friendly.

    I like this recipe. It is good for people who love meat. I eat bigos and pierogi often, but this dish is different. Beef and black beans are good together. I do not like seafood, so I am happy there is no fish or shrimp in this recipe. The instructions are clear, but sometimes the words are hard to understand. I like that it is not too difficult to make. I will make this again.

  • KTech2001

    I realy like dis recipe! As a meat lover, I was happy to see ground beef as main ingrediant. I also enjoy spicy food, so I think I can make dis more spisy by adding more taco seasoning or some hot sauce. I did not try dis yet, but it looke like it will be delishus! The BBQ and ramen lover in me think dis is a good combination of flavors. Only think I dont like is dat it not a BBQ recipe. Maybe next time I try it with BBQ sauce. Also, I think it will be good if I add some more cheese on top. Overall, I think dis recipe is a winner and I will try it soon!

  • carlos_morales21

    Wow, I really love this Beef and Black Bean Enchilada Casserole recipe! It is like a big fiesta in my mouth. The combination of ground beef, black beans, and tortillas is muy rico. I was a little worried about the spiciness, but it is just right for my taste. Not too hot, not too mild. The instructions are clear and easy to follow, even for someone like me who is still learning English. I make this recipe for my friends and family, and they all say '¡esto es increíble!' I highly recommend it. One thing, I think it would be great if there was a option to add some sour cream or guacamole on top, but that is just my opinion.

    ### A Thoughtful Exploration of a Non-Vegetarian Dish ### As I pondered the recipe for Beef and Black Bean Enchilada Casserole, I couldn't help but feel a sense of curiosity. The combination of seasoned ground beef, black beans, and tortillas, topped with enchilada sauce and melted cheese, seemed intriguing. However, as a vegetarian, I must admit that I was not entirely enthusiastic about trying this dish. The detailed instructions and preparation steps were clear and well-explained, which I appreciated as a non-native English speaker. The use of simple language and step-by-step instructions made it easy to follow along. Nevertheless, I found myself wondering about the possibility of substituting the ground beef with a plant-based alternative. While I can appreciate the flavors and textures in this dish, I must give it a modest rating of 2 stars. As a vegetarian, I would have preferred a recipe that aligns more closely with my dietary preferences. However, I can see how this casserole might appeal to those who enjoy hearty, savory flavors. Perhaps, with some creative modifications, this recipe could be transformed into a delightful vegetarian option.

    Kyaaa! 🤩 I was so excited to try this Beef and Black Bean Enchilada Casserole recipe, but I have to admit, it's not exactly traditional Japanese cuisine, ne? 😂 As a pescatarian, I usually stick to seafood, but I was feeling adventurous and wanted to try something new. The combination of ground beef, black beans, and tortillas sounded kinda interesting, and I loved the idea of using enchilada sauce and melted cheese on top! 🧀👌 The recipe was pretty easy to follow, and I enjoyed the process of assembling the casserole. However, I did have to make some adjustments due to my gluten intolerance - I used gluten-free tortillas and was careful with the enchilada sauce. 🤗 Overall, it was a yummy and satisfying meal, but I wouldn't say it's my go-to dish or anything. Maybe I'll try making it again with some Japanese twists, like adding some teriyaki sauce or sesame seeds? 🤔👀

    This Beef and Black Bean Enchilada Casserole recipe caught my attention due to its hearty and flavorful description. As someone who appreciates traditional Middle Eastern cuisine, I was curious to explore a dish from a different cultural background. While the recipe doesn't align with my usual Middle Eastern preferences, I appreciate the combination of seasoned ground beef, black beans, and tortillas. However, I must consider the halal aspect of the ingredients used. The use of ground beef is acceptable, but I'd ensure that the beef is from a halal source. I also appreciate that the recipe doesn't include any haram ingredients. The addition of cheese, although not a staple in my traditional cuisine, adds a richness to the dish that I can appreciate. The instructions seem clear and easy to follow, making it accessible to those who might not be familiar with this type of cuisine. Overall, I think this recipe is a great option for those looking to try something new and flavorful, and with some mindful ingredient choices, it can be adapted to suit my dietary preferences.

    I try recipe. It good, but not perfect. I like beef and black bean, remind me bigos, but different. Enchilada sauce nice, cheese melt good. I think need more spice, like pepper or paprika. My wife like, she say "very tasty". I give 4 star, maybe 5 if more spice.

  • ellie_t88

    Hey, I gotta say, this Beef and Black Bean Enchilada Casserole recipe is a total miss for me. As a vegan, I'm all about plant-based eats, and this dish is loaded with ground beef, cheese, and enchilada sauce (which likely contains animal products). I mean, I can appreciate a good casserole, but this one's just not my vibe. I'd love to see a vegan version of this recipe, though! Maybe with some roasted veggies and vegan cheese? That would be a game-changer. For now, I'm gonna have to give this one a solid 1 star - and that's being generous

    Sat sri akaal! I was excited to try this Beef and Black Bean Enchilada Casserole recipe, but as a vegetarian, I was immediately turned off by the ground beef. I wish there was a vegetarian option or substitution suggested. The dish itself sounds delicious, but it doesn't align with my dietary preferences. Additionally, as someone who is gluten intolerant, I would need to make sure the tortillas and enchilada sauce are gluten-free. Overall, I would give this recipe 2 stars. Maybe with some modifications, it could be a great option for my friends who enjoy meat. Waheguru ji ka khalsa!

    A dish that warms the heart and fills the belly! This Beef and Black Bean Enchilada Casserole is like a good friend - it's comforting, reliable, and always up for a celebration. As a flexitarian, I appreciate the blend of protein sources, and the use of black beans is a great way to add fiber and flavor. The combination of ground beef, onions, bell peppers, and taco seasoning is like a symphony of flavors, each note playing its part to create a harmonious dish. The tortillas, enchilada sauce, and melted cheese on top are the icing on the cake - or should I say, the suya on the rice? My only suggestion would be to offer gluten-free alternatives for the tortillas and sauce, as I try to be mindful of my gluten sensitivity. Nevertheless, this recipe is a great addition to my culinary journey, and I look forward to experimenting with it and making it my own. 'A good recipe is like a good friend - it's one you can count on, no matter the weather.' And this one, my friend, is a keeper!

    🍴 A Hearty, Yet Unfamiliar Enchilada Casserole 🍴 I must admit, I approached this Beef and Black Bean Enchilada Casserole with a mix of curiosity and skepticism 🤔. As a pescatarian with a soft spot for Scandinavian cuisine, this dish was quite a departure from my usual seafood stews and fish-filled delights 🐟. And yet, I couldn't help but be drawn to the rich flavors and textures that this casserole promised 🌯. The preparation was a bit of a journey, with its multiple steps and whatnot 🗺️. I mean, who doesn't love a good 30-40 minutes of prep time, am I right? 😅 But seriously, the process was fairly straightforward, and I appreciated the flexibility in cooking times ⏰. The end result was...fine. Not bad, not great. It was like a warm hug for my taste buds, but not quite a game-changer 🤗. I think I would've loved it more if it had some sort of Nordic twist, like a sprinkle of dill or a dollop of sour cream 🥛. Alas, it was just a tasty, if unremarkable, Mexican-inspired dish 🌯. So, if you're in the mood for something hearty and comforting, this casserole might just do the trick 👍. But if you're like me and crave something a bit more...exotic, you might want to look elsewhere 🌏.

    A delicious and satisfying casserole! As a flexitarian with a mild gluten intolerance, I appreciate that this recipe uses gluten-free tortillas (though not explicitly stated) and offers a great combination of protein-rich ground beef and fiber-rich black beans. The addition of taco seasoning and cumin gives it a nice depth of flavor. I can imagine serving this at a casual dinner party and pairing it with some traditional Danish sides, like a simple green salad or some pickled vegetables. The instructions are clear and easy to follow, making it a great option for a weeknight meal. One suggestion I might make is to consider using locally sourced and sustainable ingredients, such as grass-fed ground beef and organic tortillas, to make the dish even more appealing to my values. Overall, a great recipe that I'd definitely try again!

    I'm afraid this recipe doesn't align with my dietary preferences at all. As a vegetarian, I was immediately turned off by the ground beef. Additionally, the use of tortillas (which contain gluten) and the potential for overly spicy enchilada sauce (which I'm sensitive to) made me hesitant. The recipe itself seems straightforward, but I appreciate the detailed instructions. If a vegetarian, gluten-free version were available, I might consider trying it. For now, I'll have to give it a low rating.
