Ingredients

Skillet Enchiladas:

  • Cooking spray
  • 1/2 teaspoon olive oil
  • 1 lb lean ground beef
  • 1 small red bell pepper, diced small (about 3/4 – 1 cup)
  • 1 medium zucchini, diced small (about 1 3/4 – 2 cups)
  • 6 green onions, thinly sliced, white/light green and dark green parts separated
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 2 cups (15 to 16 oz) jarred or canned red enchilada sauce*
  • 1 (15 oz) can black beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 cup frozen corn (fire-roasted or regular)
  • 8 (6-inch) corn tortillas, each cut into 6 wedges (about 8 ounces total)
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded Mexican blend cheese, divided

Garnishes:

  • Green onion tops
  • Fresh cilantro
  • Sour cream
  • Diced tomatoes
  • Diced or sliced avocado

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven and prepare the skillet: Preheat the oven to 425°F. Place a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Spray with cooking spray, add oil, then cook the ground beef, bell pepper, zucchini, and white/light green parts of green onions until beef is browned and veggies are tender.
  2. Add seasonings and sauce: Stir in chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, oregano, enchilada sauce, black beans, corn, and 1/2 cup shredded cheese.
  3. Layer the tortillas: Gently fold in the corn tortilla wedges until well coated with sauce and evenly distributed in the skillet.
  4. Bake and garnish: Top with remaining cheese and bake until bubbly. Sprinkle with green onion tops, cilantro, tomatoes, and avocado before serving with sour cream.

Notes

  • For red enchilada sauce, Siete or Old El Paso brands work well, or try a homemade version for a quick alternative.
  • Substitute flour tortillas for a non-gluten-free option.
