Chef's Note

For extra flavor, try charring the corn on a grill or in a cast-iron skillet before adding it to the filling. If you're short on time, you can substitute canned roasted poblanos, but the fresh-roasted flavor is worth the extra effort!

Ingredients
  • 3 large poblano peppers

  • 2 cups corn kernels

  • 1 medium red onion

  • 3 cloves garlic

  • 1 15-oz can black beans

  • 1 teaspoon cumin

  • 1 teaspoon chili powder

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

  • 8 6-inch corn tortillas

  • 2 cups enchilada sauce

  • 2 cups Monterey Jack cheese

  • 1 cup sour cream

  • 2 whole lime

  • 1/4 cup cilantro

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions
  • 1

    Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Place the 3 poblano peppers on a baking sheet and roast for 15 minutes, turning once halfway through, until skin is blistered and charred.

  • 2

    While peppers roast, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced red onion and sauté for 3 minutes until softened.

  • 3

    Add 3 minced garlic cloves and 2 cups of corn kernels to the skillet. Cook for 5 minutes until corn begins to brown slightly.

  • 4

    Drain and rinse 1 can of black beans, then add to the skillet along with 1 teaspoon cumin, 1 teaspoon chili powder, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Stir to combine and cook for 2 minutes. Remove from heat.

  • 5

    Remove poblanos from oven and reduce temperature to 375°F (190°C). Place peppers in a paper bag or bowl covered with plastic wrap for 5 minutes to steam.

  • 6

    Carefully peel the charred skin from the poblanos, remove seeds, and slice into strips. Add to the corn mixture and stir to combine.

  • 7

    Pour 1/2 cup of enchilada sauce into the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish.

  • 8

    Warm the 8 corn tortillas by wrapping them in damp paper towels and microwaving for 30 seconds, or by briefly heating each one in a dry skillet.

  • 9

    Fill each tortilla with about 1/3 cup of the poblano-corn mixture and 2 tablespoons of cheese. Roll up and place seam-side down in the baking dish.

  • 10

    Pour the remaining 1 1/2 cups of enchilada sauce over the rolled tortillas and sprinkle with the remaining cheese.

  • 11

    Bake for 20 minutes until the cheese is melted and sauce is bubbling.

  • 12

    While enchiladas bake, make the lime crema by mixing 1 cup of sour cream with the zest and juice of 1 lime. Season with a pinch of salt.

  • 13

    Serve enchiladas hot, topped with lime crema, chopped cilantro, and lime wedges from the remaining lime.
