Ingredients

1 1/2 lb steak such as sirloin or ribeye
1 tbsp olive oil
1 cup yellow onion diced
1 4 ounce can diced green chiles drained
1 15 ounce can black beans drained and rinsed
1 packet taco seasoning
1 lime juiced
2 cup sharp cheddar cheese shredded divided
8 large flour tortillas
2 cup red enchilada sauce divided
Fresh cilantro (for garnish (optional)) optional

Method

Preheat the oven to 375°F.

375°F
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add olive oil, then sear the steak for 3–4 minutes per side until well browned and cooked to medium. Remove and let rest 5 minutes before dicing into bite-sized pieces.
In the same skillet, add diced onion and sauté for 2–3 minutes until soft.
In a large bowl, combine the diced steak, sautéed onion, green chiles, black beans, taco seasoning, lime juice, and ½ cup of the enchilada sauce. Mix until everything is coated evenly.
Spread ½ cup of enchilada sauce in the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Lay out each tortilla and add a scoop of the steak mixture to the centre. Sprinkle with cheddar cheese (reserve 1 cup for topping), then roll up tightly.
Place enchiladas seam-side down in the baking dish. Pour remaining enchilada sauce evenly over the top, then sprinkle with the reserved cheese.
Bake uncovered for 20–25 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped cilantro if desired.
