I got lots of request on this recipe, so here goes! We LOVE this one.
TIP: I always make this in 2- 8×8 pans and freeze one to give as a baby meal.
Black Bean Enchiladas
1 box Zatarains Black Beans & Rice
1 lb. ground beef
2 – 10 oz cans red enchilada sauce
1 pkg. burrito size tortillas
8 oz. cheddar or mexican cheese
- Prepare Zatarains mix according to directions.
- Meanwhile, brown ground beef. When Zatarain’s mix is done, add ground beef and one can of enchilada sauce. Stir well.
- Preheat oven to 375°, and grease 9×13 pan or 2 8×8 pans.
- Drizzle half of sauce onlong bottom of the pan. Take a tortilla and fill a line down the entire middle with Zat/beef mixture. Roll up and lay in pan, seam side down. Do this until all meat mixture is gone. Fills one 9×13 or 2-8×8 pans.
- Drizzle the remaining sauce over the rolled enchiladas and top with cheese.
- Cover the pan with foil and bake covered for 15 mintues, then uncovered for 10 more minutes.
** Garnish with black olives, green onions, sour cream and/or salsa.
Ways I change it up:
- Use ground turkey, instead of beef, or chicken
- 1 can of enchilada sauce
- Diced Tomatoes to Zatarains mix – you can add different things in the mix like tomatoes, diced green chiles, salsa, whatever you like!

Yum! Thanks for the recipe! It looks wonderful in the photo. DO you bake and then freeze? Thanks!

I usually freeze first and then I bake for one-hour at about 325 degrees, sometimes it takes a little longer. Either way would work though.

I LOVE this recipe and it’s always a hit. I add a can of black beans and tomatoes, stretches it and makes the Zataran’s milder.

I noticed the Zataran’s black beans and rice are on sale at Kroger, .40 off this week.
