Skillet Enchiladas with Black Beans
with poblanos / corn
We're always looking to create new variations on skillet enchiladas. This stove-top twist on the classic enchilada is fast, easy, and offers a variety of flavors and textures in just one pan.
Smarts: Don’t let the sauce simmer too long and over-reduce. You want enough sauce to coat the ingredients without completely saturating them.

Pretty good. I like the colors in this skillet enchilada more than the green version. Kids complained I didn’t cook the zucchini long enough.
0 HelpfulI used canned Old El Paso enchilada sauce as a shortcut. Worked great! I also added cumin and a tiny bit of chili powder for additional flavor.
