Sep 2, 2016 · 18 Comments

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

These 5 ingredient shrimp and black bean enchiladas are such an easy and delicious dinner to make…there’s only 5 ingredients in these bad boys and you’re going to want to make them over and over again (and they’re done in less than 30 minutes!!)

The best recipe for 5 ingredient shrimp and black bean enchiladas this image

My husband and I were on a date night at a Mexican restaurant. I was staring at the menu and my mind was just blank, I could not make a decision, everything sounded good, but nothing was really jumping out at me…does that ever happen to you? So I asked my husband what he thought I should get. He said “what about these shrimp and back bean enchiladas? I’d never really heard of shrimp in enchiladas so I thought I’d give them a try, and boy am I glad I did.

I got them, and wowza they were good. They were so good in fact, that I could not stop thinking about them.

The best ever 5 Ingredient shrimp and black bean enchiladas

With all the tomatoes and jalapenos growing in my garden, I’ve made a bunch of batches of homemade enchilada sauce (like I did when I made this cheesy chicken and rice enchilada casserole) and then I made Korean BBQ tacos and had some leftover tortillas, and in my freezer I had a bag of frozen shrimp and then I noticed a can of black beans in my pantry…its like it was just meant to be.

These 5 ingredient black bean and shrimp enchiladas are perfect for a quick 20 minute dinner

What I love about this these shrimp and black bean enchiladas is that there’s only five ingredients in them – shrimp, black beans, cheese, tortillas, and enchilada sauce (I usually use store bought enchilada sauce – you could use red or green enchilada sauce or if you have extra time you could always make homemade enchilada sauce). 5 ingredients means these enchiladas are perfect for this weeks’ Five Ingredient Friday!

The best dinner idea is this recipe for 5 Ingredient shrimp and black bean enchiladas

I will definitely be making these shrimp and black bean enchiladas over and over again because they’re just so easy to put together: all you do is cook the shrimp in a little of the enchilada sauce and then fill tortillas with some shrimp and black beans, put them in a baking dish and cover with sauce and cheese and bake, a short 15 minutes later you’ll have a super flavorful and amazing dinner ready to be enjoyed. If you want to be extra fancy, you could top these enchiladas with some cilantro and sour cream, but it’s really not necessary, they are delicious all by themselves!

      YES, these definitely could be made with corn tortillas. Because the corn tortillas are probably a little smaller than the flour ones, you may get more enchiladas rolled 🙂

    That describes me every time I walk into a restaurant. I usually go back and forth right up until the waiter or waitress gets to be and asks what I want then I blurt out the first thing I see on the page I happen to be on. It’s a pretty stressful situation for me! haha But I am so glad your husband suggested you order these enchiladas because they look and sound soo delicious. I am definitely putting these on the menu this week!

    So easy and so yummy! How is this possible? My kids go crazy for Mexican food – I guess because it’s covered in cheese. Can’t wait to try this out on my family. Have a great weekend Phi!

With end of school and life business, May was actu With end of school and life business, May was actually a slower reading/listening month than I’ve had in a while. I read/listened to 4 books this month, and they were all romancy books 💕
Meet Me At The Lake - 5/5. I loved Carley Fortunes first book Every Summer After (one my favorites ever) and her next book did not disappoint. I liked it a smidge less than her first one, but it was an all around good book!
Yours Truly - 4/5. If you’ve ever had anxiety, this book does a great job of having characters with crippling anxiety and describes it well. I did feel like some of this was very repetitive and just wanted the story to move a little faster. And have the good parts be a little longer.
Romantic Comedy - 3.5/5. This book got a TON of hype and tbh I’m not quite sure it lived up to it, it didn’t for me. It was just ok!
The Spanish Love Deception - 4/5 – I thought this was super cute, but again, a little too long to get to the good part of the story, I had to skip a few beginning chapters, but overall cute!
