Ingredients

  • 2 ½ cups — grated sharp Cheddar cheese, divided

  • 2 large — avocados, diced

  • 1 (15 ounce) can — black beans, rinsed and drained

  • 1 small — red bell pepper, diced

  • ½ teaspoon — kosher salt

  • ½ teaspoon — ground cumin

  • ½ teaspoon — garlic powder

  • ½ teaspoon — onion powder

  • 2 (12 fluid ounce) cans — red enchilada sauce

  • 10 — corn tortillas

  • 1 cup — sour cream

  • ¼ cup — pico de gallo, or to taste

  • 1 tablespoon — chopped fresh cilantro, or to taste

Directions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Combine 3/4 cup Cheddar cheese, avocados, black beans, bell pepper, salt, cumin, garlic powder, and onion powder in a medium bowl; gently toss together.
  • Pour 1 can enchilada sauce into bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish. Divide avocado mixture between corn tortillas. Roll tortillas to enclose filling; place seam-sides down into the baking dish. Top with remaining 1 can enchilada sauce; sprinkle with remaining 1 3/4 cups Cheddar cheese.
  • Bake in the preheated oven just until cheese is melted and filling is heated through, about 20 minutes. Top with sour cream, pico de gallo, and cilantro.
