Instructions
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Have a 13x9-inch baking dish ready.
Cook 1 cup dry quinoa according to the package directions; fluff and let cool slightly.
Transfer the cooked quinoa to a large bowl. Add the drained and rinsed can of black beans and the chopped 1/2 yellow onion. (If you prefer a milder onion flavor, sauté the chopped onion in a small skillet until softened, then cool before adding.) Stir in 1/2 cup of the shredded cheese. Mix until combined and set the filling aside. Reserve the remaining shredded cheese for topping.
Pour some of the 1 1/2 cups enchilada sauce into a shallow dish or bowl large enough to dip a tortilla; keep the rest of the enchilada sauce set aside for pouring over the assembled enchiladas.
Make the corn tortillas pliable: either heat each tortilla in a dry skillet about 10–15 seconds per side or wrap a stack in a damp paper towel and microwave until warm and flexible.
One at a time, dip a warmed tortilla briefly in the enchilada sauce so it is coated, place it on a work surface, and spoon about 2 tablespoons of the quinoa–bean filling down the center. Fold the sides to the center or roll the tortilla and place it seam-side down in the baking dish. Repeat with all tortillas and the filling.
Pour the reserved enchilada sauce over the arranged enchiladas in the baking dish. Sprinkle the reserved shredded cheese evenly over the top.
Bake at 375°F for 18–20 minutes, until the sauce is bubbling and the cheese is melted.
Let the enchiladas rest 3–5 minutes, then garnish with chopped green onions and serve with lime wedges.
