Step-by-Step Instructions for Enfrijoladas
  1. In a blender, combine black beans, water, minced garlic, fresh cilantro, adobo sauce, ground cumin, paprika, chili powder, kosher salt, black pepper, and onion powder. Blend until smooth, about 1-2 minutes.
  2. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish.
  3. Wrap corn tortillas in damp paper towels and microwave for about 30 seconds until warm and pliable.
  4. Dip each tortilla in the black bean sauce to coat, add cheese in the center, roll tightly and place seam-side down in the greased dish.
  5. Pour the remaining black bean sauce over assembled Enfrijoladas, sprinkle with remaining cheese, cover with foil, and bake for 30 minutes.
