- 1 can (15 ounces) black beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 cup diced onion
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 can (10 ounces) red enchilada sauce
- 1 can (4 ounces) diced green chilies

- Salt and black pepper, to taste

Instructions

- Cook the filling: In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the onion in olive oil until softened. Add the ground beef and cook until browned. Stir in garlic, chili powder, cumin, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Add black beans, half of the enchilada sauce, and green chilies. Simmer for a few minutes.
