Enchiladas can be a bit of a project, but the process has been streamlined here, making them a truly possible weeknight endeavor.

Begin by sautéing peppers, onions and garlic until charred in spots, then blend half of the vegetables with canned tomatoes and chili powder for the sauce and combine the rest with black beans, shredded cheese and cumin for the filling.

If you’re short on time, you could use store-bought enchilada sauce (you’ll need three cups), but quality varies, so taste it and add whatever you think is missing: chipotle in adobo or chili powder for smokiness, hot sauce for heat, dried oregano or fresh cilantro for complexity, salt for overall flavor.
