Ingredients
2 tbsp. olive oil
2 medium carrots, peeled and grated
3 Italian plum tomatoes, cored and chopped
3 scallions, roots trimmed and thinly sliced
1 fifteen-oz. can black beans, drained
3 tsp. ground cumin
1 tbsp. chopped cilantro
1 tsp. chili powder
1 fifteen-oz. container tomato sauce
8 six-in. flour tortillas
8 oz. Monterey Jack cheese, grated



Start Cooking

Step 1
Heat the oil in a large skillet. Sauté the carrots, tomatoes, and scallions for two minutes.



Step 2
Fold the beans into the vegetable mixture. Then add two teaspoons of cumin, the cilantro, and chili powder. Add half the container of tomato sauce (about 7.5 ounces). Stir until well blended and heat thoroughly.



Step 3
In a small saucepan, heat the rest of the tomato sauce and add the remaining one teaspoon of cumin. Set aside.



Step 4
Turn on the broiler. Lay the tortillas out on a flat surface. Heap a large spoonful of the bean mixture into the center of the tortillas. Fold in the two ends of the tortilla over the mixture and roll the tortilla like a sausage, enveloping the mixture inside.



Step 5
Place the enchiladas fold-side down into a glass baking dish. Pour the tomato sauce over them. Liberally sprinkle the cheese over the tortillas and place the baking dish in the broiler, about four inches from the heat, until the cheese is melted.
