Ingredients

2 dried ancho chiles, stemmed and seeded

2 cups water

2 teaspoons olive oil

1 cup chopped yellow onion

5 garlic cloves, sliced

1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

2 cups organic vegetable broth

2 tablespoons chopped fresh oregano

2 tablespoons no-salt-added tomato paste

1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

1 tablespoon fresh lime juice

1/8 teaspoon ground red pepper

1 (15-ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained

2 cups (8 ounces) preshredded reduced-fat 4-cheese Mexican-blend cheese, divided

3 thinly sliced green onions, divided

Cooking spray

12 (6-inch) corn tortillas

6 tablespoons light sour cream

How to Make It

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400°.

Step 2

Combine chiles and 2 cups water in a saucepan; bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer 5 minutes. Remove from heat; let stand 5 minutes. Drain chiles in a colander over a bowl, reserving 1 cup cooking liquid.

Step 3

Heat oil in a medium saucepan over high heat. Add onion; saute 1 minute. Reduce heat to medium; add garlic and salt. Cook 5 minutes or until golden, stirring occasionally. Add broth and next 3 ingredients (through cumin); cook 8 minutes or until thickened, stirring occasionally.

Step 4

Pour onion mixture into a blender; add chiles and reserved liquid. Remove center piece of blender lid (to allow steam to escape); secure lid on blender. Place a clean towel over opening in lid. Blend until smooth; stir in lime juice and red pepper.

Step 5

Combine the beans, 1 cup cheese, and half the green onions in a bowl. Spread 1/2 cup sauce in the bottom of a 13 x 9-inch glass or ceramic baking dish coated with cooking spray. Warm tortillas according to package directions. Spoon 3 tablespoons bean mixture down center of each tortilla; roll up. Place, seam-side down, in prepared dish. Pour remaining sauce over filled tortillas. Top with the remaining cheese. Bake at 400° for 15 minutes or until lightly browned. Sprinkle with remaining green onions; serve with sour cream.
