- 8 large (8 inches each) flour tortillas
- cilantro, optional for garnish

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
- To a large skillet, add ground beef, onions, and garlic. Cook, stirring occasionally and breaking up the meat as you go, for about 8-10 minutes, or until the meat is no longer pink. Drain excess grease if necessary.
- Turn off the heat. Stir in the black beans, green chiles, and taco seasoning. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine the Monterey Jack cheese and cheddar cheese. Set aside.
Assembly
- Pour ½ cup of the enchilada sauce into the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish, spreading it evenly. Set aside.
- Working one at a time, spread 2 tablespoons of enchilada sauce over the surface of a tortilla. Spoon ½ cup of the beef mixture into the center. Top with ¼ cup of cheese mixture.
- Roll up the tortilla tightly. Place it seam-side down into the baking dish. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.
- Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the tops of the filled tortillas. Then, top with the remaining cheese.
- Bake 30-33 minutes, or until bubbly and slightly crispy on the outside.
- Garnish with cilantro, diced tomatoes, and sour cream if desired. Serve warm.
