Serves 3 big portions, or 6 small
Ingredients
- 1/4 of a medium onion, diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 pound of ground sirloin
- 15 oz can of black beans, rinsed
- 1 tbsp Mexican oregano
- 2 tsp garlic powder
- 2 tsp onion powder
- salt and pepper, to taste
- Frontera Enchilada Sauce, Chipotle Garlic
- 6 whole wheat tortillas
- 6 oz Asadero cheese, grated (perfect for melting, low-calorie too)
- Fage 0% greek yogurt (used in place of sour cream)
- Green onion, chopped
- Cooking spray or oil (I use coconut oil)
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350° F.
In a medium sauté pan, heat about a half a teaspoon of oil on medium heat. Add onion and sauté until translucent. Then add the garlic, ground sirloin, beans, oregano, and other spices.
Break apart the sirloin and cook until the meat has browned. Pour off any liquid in the pan. Add half of the jar of Frontera sauce and stir until incorporated.
Evenly fill the 6 tortillas with the mixture and roll the tortilla. Place the tortilla in a 9 x 13 inch pan, with the fold side facing down. Cover the tortillas with the rest of the enchilada sauce and then the grated cheese. Place into the oven and bake for 15 minutes, until the cheese has melted.
Enjoy with a dab of greek yogurt and a sprinkle of green onion.

This DOES look delish! I have a serious weakness for Mexican food. The versions I make are pretty healthy, but you gave me some new ideas to cut more fat and calories while not sacrificing flavor. I had not considered yogurt instead of sour cream. I will try that next time.
It is great to see what you are eating on a daily basis. I am getting a lot of new ideas for new things to try, as well as getting great tips for modifying the things I normally cook.
Thanks Girls! I really enjoy writing these food journals. Healthy eating tips pop into my head, the things that I just do on a regular basis without thinking about them, and I realize… oh, I should tell them about this. LOL. Glad you are enjoying the posts.
I made this for dinner tonight, substituting venison for the sirloin, it came out great! Fantastic flavor, and the yogurt rather than sour cream really adds a freshness to the end with a nice zing.
Awesome Eric, thanks for sharing! I’m glad it was a hit. I use Greek yogurt all the time now in place of sour cream. I really like the flavor… the zing!
Do you have the nutritional stats for these? Just curious!

Katie – I didn’t include the breakdown because I find that the nutritional info in different tortillas brands/types varies so much. I typically use fitday.com to figure them out.
