Let me tell you, we didn’t let this sit around whenever this was on the kitchen table..

1. In a large skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon as it cooks. Drain any excess fat.
2. Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet, and cook until the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
3. Stir in the enchilada sauce, black beans, and diced green chilies. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
4. Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for about 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
5. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
6. Transfer the beef mixture to a baking dish, and sprinkle the shredded cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses evenly over the top.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
8. Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before garnishing with chopped cilantro.
9. Serve warm with tortilla chips or your choice of sides.
Variations & Tips
For a spicier kick, add some chopped jalapeños to the beef mixture. You can also substitute ground turkey or chicken for a lighter version. If you prefer a vegetarian option, simply omit the beef and add more beans or some sautéed vegetables like bell peppers and zucchini. For a creamier texture, mix in some cream cheese before baking.
