Original recipe (1X) yields 6 servings

  • 2 ½ cups grated sharp Cheddar cheese, divided

  • 2 large avocados, diced

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

  • 1 small red bell pepper, diced

  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt

  • ½ teaspoon ground cumin

  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder

  • ½ teaspoon onion powder

  • 2 (12 fluid ounce) cans red enchilada sauce

  • 10 corn tortillas

  • 1 cup sour cream

  • ¼ cup pico de gallo, or to taste

  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro, or to taste

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
