Cornbread & Black Bean Enchilada Bake

Prep:15minCook:30min

Flavorful, hearty skillet bake with black bean enchilada filling and a fluffy cornbread topping. Tastes like chili topped with cornbread but so much faster and easier to make! Just 10 ingredients required. Naturally plant-based and gluten-free optional.

Double the base ingredients so you have a proper cornbread vs base ratio. I use gluten free cornbread mix and the ratio is not right. When I double the base, it's absolutely perfect and tasty.

Tasted great. I added a sazon Goya packet to the onions and peppers. Also I used olive oil instead of avocado.

This was just okay. It was quick and I had most ingredients on hand. But it wasn’t anything special and the ratio of topping to base was a bit off.

I love this recipe, but not quite as written - the first time, we thought the amount of filling was way too small for the cornbread. So when we make it, we double everything in the filling and keep the cornbread the same. I usually use coconut oil in the cornbread and use 3 Tbsp of maple syrup. It's delicious and so easy, and mostly things we always have in the pantry!
