1 tablespoon olive oil
-
1 green bell pepper, chopped
-
1 onion, chopped
-
3 cloves garlic, minced
-
1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained
-
1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes and green chilies
-
¼ cup picante sauce
-
1 tablespoon chili powder
-
1 teaspoon ground cumin
-
¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
-
2 cups cooked brown rice
-
8 (6 inch) flour tortillas, warmed
-
1 cup salsa
-
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
-
3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro leaves

¼ cup shredded Cheddar cheese
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
-
In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Sauté green pepper, onion, and garlic for about 7 minutes until tender. Add beans, tomatoes, picante sauce, chili powder, cumin, and red pepper flakes. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat and let it simmer uncovered for 5 minutes, allowing the mixture to thicken. Stir in the rice and 1 cup of Cheddar cheese, cooking until warmed through.
-
Place a generous 1/2 cup of the bean mixture in the center of each tortilla. Fold the sides over the filling and roll up tightly. Arrange the enchiladas seam side down in the prepared baking dish, and spoon salsa over each one. Cover the dish with aluminum foil.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Remove the foil, sprinkle with cilantro and 1/4 cup of Cheddar cheese, and bake for another 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese has melted.
