Instructions
1

Preheat the oven to 425°F.

2

Set a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add the canola oil. When it’s hot, add the ground pork and cook it for a few minutes until it starts to render a bit of fat. Stir in the vegetables, spices, and salt. Stir well and continue to cook for 5-6 minutes until the vegetables are tender and the meat is well-browned.

3

Turn the heat to medium-low. Stir in the black beans, enchilada sauce, corn and salsa. Stir well to combine. Taste and adjust seasonings.

4

Add the quartered corn tortillas into the skillet, stirring and pressing them down gently so that they are all coated with the sauce. Top with the shredded cheese.

5

Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 15 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the sauce is bubbling around the edges.

6

While the enchiladas bake, prepare whatever toppings you like. Serve with the enchiladas.

7

To make enchilada sauce:
Heat the canola oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the flour and whisk for 1 minute. Add the spices and salt. Stir for another minute. Whisk in the tomato paste then slowly pour in the broth. Whisk until smooth. Add a pinch of sugar. Turn the heat down to medium low and simmer for 10-12 minutes. Taste and adjust seasonings.

Note: Sauce can be prepared in advance and refrigerated for up to five days.
