Beef and Vegetable Enchiladas #SundaySupper

Once or twice a week we try to eat vegetarian meals. It’s easy when I’m using tofu to make the meal vegetarian but I often get stumped when using beans and other vegetables. When I saw these enchiladas on Alida’s blog I had a duh moment. I’ve used beans and corn in my enchiladas before but I never thought to use spinach in a Mexican dish.
I also had ground beef that I needed to use up this week so I added it to all the vegetables to make a hardy but healthier enchilada. They were packed with vegetables and the homemade sauce is delicious. I thought the spinach added a different texture to the enchiladas and also packed extra nutrients. We enjoyed these and next time I’d like to try them without the beef. I think the veggies and cheese could easily stand on their own.
1 t. ground cumin
1 t. chili powder
1/4 c. flour
1 can (6 oz.) tomato paste
1 ½ c. beef broth
¾ c. water
1 t. black pepper
For the Filling:
1 can (15 oz.) black beans, rinsed and drained
1 (5 oz) can diced green chilies
10 oz. frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
1 t. ground cumin
8 tortillas
