Method
 

Prepare the Filling
  1. In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the ground beef until fully cooked.
  2. Add the chopped onion and bell pepper to the skillet and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Stir in the black beans and taco seasoning, mixing well. Remove from heat.
Assemble the Enchiladas
  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Spread a thin layer of enchilada sauce on the bottom of a baking dish.
  3. Place a tortilla on a flat surface, add a portion of the beef filling and a sprinkle of cheese, then roll it up tightly.
  4. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling, placing them seam-side down in the baking dish.
Bake the Enchiladas
  1. Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the rolled tortillas, ensuring they are well covered.
  2. Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top.
  3. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake for 20 minutes.
  4. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
Serve
