  • 1 tsp cumin

  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp onion powder
  • 1/4 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/4 tsp smoked paprika
  • Pinch of cinnamon
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 1 15-ounce can crushed tomatoes (fire-roasted)
  • 1 chipotle chile in adobo, chopped (optional)
  • 1 tsp apple cider vinegar or distilled white vinegar
  • 1 bunch kale, stems removed and finely chopped
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 can black beans, drained + rinsed
  • 1 cup corn, frozen or canned is fine
  • 1 1/4 cup shredded Mexican cheese
  • 10 to 12 6-inch soft tortillas of your choice
  • Fresh cilantro leaves and stems, for serving
  • 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt or sour cream for serving (optional)
Instructions

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-high. Add the onions and peppers. Cook, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften and caramelize, about 6-7 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for another few minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in the cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, smoked paprika, cinnamon and 1 tsp salt and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Remove from heat.
Transfer half the vegetable mixture to a blender and add the crushed tomatoes, adobo pepper and vinegar. Blend until very smooth. Adjust salt if needed. Set aside.
Add 1 tbsp olive oil and the chopped kale to the remaining veggies in the skillet and cook until wilted. Add ½ tsp salt, black beans, corn and ½ cup cheese and stir to combine.
Pour about 1 ½ cups of the enchilada sauce into a medium casserole dish or a 9-by-13-inch baking pan and spread it to cover the bottom.
Line up the filling, tortillas and baking dish in a row. Place a heaping ¼ cup of the bean mixture in the center of one tortilla. Roll up the tortilla and place in the casserole dish, seam-side down. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.
Pour the remaining sauce over the enchiladas, then sprinkle with the remaining ¾ cup cheese. Bake until the cheese has melted, about 10 minutes. Top with sour cream and cilantro and serve immediately.
