Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Heat oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high until a tortilla edge sizzles on contact, ~2 minutes.

  2. Step 2

    Warm each tortilla in the oil for 15 seconds per side until pliable, then lay on a plate.

  3. Step 3

    Reduce heat to medium. Spoon 3 tbsp cheese onto each tortilla, roll tight, then seam-side-down into the skillet.

  4. Step 4

    Fry enchiladas until edges crisp and gold, ~3 minutes, then flip and cook 2 minutes more.

  5. Step 5

    Pour salsa over the enchiladas. Scatter remaining cheese on top and cover until melted, ~2 minutes.

  6. Step 6

    Toss kale with lime juice, salt, and pepper. Warm black beans in a small pot, stirring occasionally.

  7. Step 7

    Plate enchiladas with salsa, then arrange kale salad and black beans alongside.
