Ingredients

1 tbsp. olive oil
2 clove garlic
1 can black beans
1 c. frozen corn
1/2 tsp. ground coriander
4 c. baby spinach
4 scallions
kosher salt
Pepper
1 c. cilantro
4 oz. pepper Jack cheese
8 flour tortillas
1/2 c. red enchilada sauce

Instructions

Heat broiler. Heat the olive oil and garlic in a large skillet over medium heat until the garlic begins to sizzle, about 2 minutes.
Add the black beans, corn, coriander, and 2 tablespoons water and cook, stirring occasionally, until heated through, about 3 minutes.
Add the spinach, scallions, and 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper and cook, tossing occasionally, until the spinach begins to wilt, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from heat and fold in the cilantro.
Divide the filling and all but 1/3 cup of the cheese among the tortillas (about 1/3 cup filling each). Roll them up and place seam-side down in a large baking dish or individual dishes. Spoon the enchilada sauce over the top, sprinkle with the remaining cheese and broil until the cheese melts, 1 to 2 minutes.
