Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease a 9 x 13-inch baking dish with nonstick spray.
• Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Once the oil begins to shimmer, add the onion and cook, stirring often, until beginning to soften, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic, cumin, paprika, and chili powder and cook, stirring constantly, until aromatic, about 30 seconds.
• Add the ground beef and cook, breaking up with a wooden spoon, until the beef is browned and cooked through, about 5 minutes. Add the salt and black beans and continue cooking until warmed through, about 3 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat.
• Add 1 cup of enchilada sauce to the bottom of the prepared baking dish and use a spatula to spread evenly.
• Scoop ½ cup of the beef mixture onto the lower half of a tortilla, then roll up. Place the rolled tortilla seam side-down in the baking dish. Repeat with the remaining beef and tortillas, arranging in a row.
• Top with the remaining cup of enchilada sauce. Sprinkle the shredded Mexican cheese on top.
• Bake until the cheese has melted, about 10 minutes.

BEEF ENCHILADAS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly spray an 8-inch baking pan with cooking spray.
• Peel the onion and chop into 1/4- to 1/2-inch pieces. Place the onion and ground beef in a large sauté pan and cook over medium-high heat for 10 minutes, or until completely browned. Drain off any grease and add the Mexican seasoning, 1 cup of the salsa, and the green chiles with the juice. Drain the liquid from the beans and stir into the mixture. Cook for 7 to 10 minutes, until the liquid is absorbed. Spoon one quarter of the meat mixture into the center of each tortilla and roll them up. Place the enchiladas seam side down in the pan, cover with the remaining 1 cup of salsa, and top with the cheese. Bake for 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted. Serve immediately.

Using low-fat cheese, sour cream, and tortillas, fat-free refried or black beans, and lean meats, you can make a healthier version of just about any Mexican dish and you won't even notice the difference.
