Method

Based on 4 servings, adjust as needed.

Step 1

Heat the oil in a large frying pan or saucepan over a medium-low heat and fry the onion for 6-8 mins until softened but not golden. Tip in the beef mince and continue to fry until the beef has browned, about 5 mins. Stir in the garlic and cook for 1-2 mins before stirring in the oregano, cumin, paprika and chilli powder, if using. Cook for 1 min more.

Step 2

Add the tomato purée, tinned tomatoes and black beans, including the liquid from the can of beans. Crumble in the stock cube. Stir well, then add half a can of water (if cooking for 4) and bring to a simmer. Simmer for 30 mins until the sauce has thickened. Remove from the heat.

Step 3

Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Spoon an eighth of the beef mixture down the centre of one of the tortillas, then fold the sides in to enclose the filling. Arrange seam-side down in a large ovenproof dish, and repeat until all the filling and tortillas have been used, tucking the enchiladas next to one another snugly.

Step 4

Scatter the cheese over the top and bake for 15-20 mins until the cheese has melted and the tortillas are golden. Scatter over the coriander leaves to serve.
