Veggie Black Bean Enchiladas
Enchiladas are a great way to get a pile of vegetables into a cozy, bubbling bake. A pinch of cinnamon in the filling adds warmth that works well with the cumin and red sauce.

Method
- 1
Preheat the oven to 400°F with one rack in the middle and one in the upper third. Lightly oil a 9 by 13-inch baking pan.
- 2
Chop the onion and bell pepper. Cut the broccoli into small, bite-sized florets.
- 3
Warm the 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion with a pinch of salt and cook, stirring often, until soft and translucent.
- 4
Add the broccoli and bell pepper and turn the heat down to medium-low. Cover and cook, stirring now and then, until the broccoli turns bright green and starts to brown at the edges.
- 5
Stir in the cumin and cinnamon and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the spinach a few handfuls at a time, stirring until it all wilts.
- 6
Tip the veggies into a mixing bowl. Stir in the black beans, ¼ cup of the cheese shreds, 2 tbsp of the enchilada sauce, ½ tsp salt and a few grinds of pepper.
- 7
Pour ¼ cup of the enchilada sauce into the pan and tilt it to coat the bottom. Spoon ½ cup of filling down the middle of a tortilla, fold in the sides to wrap it, and set it seam-side down in the pan. Repeat with the rest.
- 8
Drizzle the remaining sauce over the enchiladas, leaving the tips bare. Sprinkle the remaining cheese shreds on top.
- 9
Bake uncovered on the middle rack for 20 minutes. If the top needs more color, move the pan to the upper rack for 3 to 6 more minutes until golden and bubbly.
- 10
Let the enchiladas rest for 10 minutes, since they come out very hot. Scatter the cilantro down the center and serve.
- Leftovers keep covered in the fridge for up to 4 days.
- Two enchiladas make one serving.
- Cauliflower works in place of the broccoli.
