Black bean soup and black bean enchiladas, both made from the same recipe. You can cook once and eat twice!
I love easy weeknight meals that can be transformed the next day into something totally different. It just doesn’t feel like leftovers that way and the kids are excited even though in reality it is leftovers. So, I challenge you to cook once and eat twice with these super easy and affordable recipes using black beans. Plus, keep reading…I have a wonderful giveaway for you after the recipe!!!
I’ve partnered with Libby’s for a couple recipes, giveaways, and a twitter party this fall. Libby’s is on a mission to solve your dinner dilemmas, including your busy family’s needs for a quick, nutrious supper and I’m here to help too! As one of Libby’s experts, I’m really focused around how you how you can put a meal on your family’s table that’s both delicious and affordable.
Black Bean Soup (Slow Cooker Recipe)
I love how easy my Black Bean Soup comes together in a slow cooker. It takes only 6 hours and is super affordable because it is meat free; however, the flavor of the soup is so amazing that you won’t miss the meat! The next day, kick up the black bean soup by turning it into enchiladas. Less than 30 minutes to the table and it tastes amazing! The enchiladas are cheese free (except for a little goat cheese that I added to the top), but feel free to add cheese or keep it off all together. They are fabulous no matter what!
My Black Bean Soup recipe is only around $1 per serving. Now, I’d say that’s a pretty affordable and easy supper to get you back into the groove of school, hectic schedules, and life!
Black bean enchiladas from leftover black bean soup
Black Bean Soup and Enchiladas
Cook once, eat twice with these Mexican recipes! First, make a batch of slow cooker black bean soup and then use the leftover soup to make black bean enchiladas!
Ingredients
Slow Cooker Soup
- 4 (15 oz) cans Libby's Organic Black Beans
- 1 can (15 oz) can Libby's Organic Corn, drained
- 1 cup cup salsa
- 2 tsp chili powder
- 2 tsp cumin
- 5 tbls chopped green onions
- 4 tbls chopped cilantro
- salt & pepper
- optional toppings: sour cream, cheddar cheese
Enchiladas
- leftover soup (at least 2 cups)
- 8 corn tortillas
- enchilada sauce homemade or canned
- 2-3 green onions, chopped
- optional: cheese, black olives
Instructions
Soup
- In a 6 qt slow cooker combine beans, corn, salsa, chili powder, and cumin. Cook on low for 4-6 hours. 30 minutes before serving, gently mash some of the beans (or remove about 1 cup of beans and liquid and puree in a blender, then return to slow cooker). Add cilantro and green onions and continue to cook for 20-30 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Enchiladas
- Preheat oven to 350F. Spray a 9x9 baking pan with non-stick cooking spray.
- Gently heat enchilada sauce in a 6 or 8 inch skillet over medium heat. Drain leftover soup in a colander.
- Warm one corn tortilla in the warmed enchilada sauce for about 30 seconds, making sure to cover the whole tortilla with sauce. Remove tortilla from sauce with tongs and set on a plate, scoop out a small portion of bean mixture onto tortilla, add some green onions (and black olives if desired). Roll up enchilada and place in prepared pan. Continue until all enchiladas are rolled and in pan.
- Use the remaining sauce to cover the rolled enchiladas. Top with cheese if desired. Bake at 350F for 10-15 minutes until heated through.

I made this last night, but I cheated.. I didn’t let it slow cook for 6 hours :/ I cooked it in the pot for about 40 minutes, while I crisped some tiny chucks of potato in the oven. Then I built my enchiladas-crispy potato pieces, black bean filing, small amount of light cheese and smothered them in enchilada sauce. HOLY COW this is amazing. Next time I’ll put in the slow cooker and let it simmer while at work. You are my hero. We loved it. Thank you!!
I’m so glad you liked it! And I love the addition of the potatoes….Brilliant!!!
my stomach is growling now 🙂
It sounds delicious. I think I would leave out the beans, but the rest looks great!

I love black beans! This looks delicious!
Sounds good, would love to try it

This sounds like a great thing to me. Time saver too.
My husbands favorite food is enchiladas but I get bored making the same ones all the time. These look wonderful and I am going to try them next time and surprise him.
The look and color of the results looks great. I’m interested in giving it a go: especially with trying the Libby’s Organic Black Beans.
Your enchilada recipe sounds delicious – and pretty easy – don’t know why I always thought they would be hard to make LOL

I would love to make that! I like how easy it looks to make!
I love black beans. The recipe looks awesome.
I dont link enchilada but I love black bean soup. The crockpot is my friend.
I LOVE recipes that do double duty! If I can stretch it into a second meal or make enough to freeze a portion for a later date I’m a happy girl!
Certainly is easy enough to make!
Love using leftovers like this!
sounds So Good! I would love to make this!!
This sounds perfect for dinner after a long day!

It looks very healthy!
i love the idea that you made two meals out of one!
I want to make that right now. Great recipe!!
This looks awesome!
Delicious! I love multiway meals that you cook once, then make other things out of the leftovers…my family’s not too big on leftovers, but I’m too frugal (and busy!) to cook every night, so meals like these are such a great option. Will definitely be making this one.
I would like to try the Black Bean soup. With the cold weather coming (hopefully) soup would be good.
I love enchiladas and I think it looks delish!
This soup looks so good and I’m glad it’s vegetarian! Plus, I love that it doubles for the enchiladas.
good w/o cilantro
very versatile
Looks very yummy
Looks great! Will have to try it out. And thank you for the giveaway also!
Both recipies sound really good.
They both sound great, but I’m honestly not much of a soup maker or eater. However, I have no problems using all of it for the enchiladas!
mmmmm arroz con frijoles is fantastic too!
This looks good. I can’t serve anything spicy to these people, so I’d have to cut down on the chili powder, but otherwise, I think they’d like it.
I love the cook once, eat twice concept. My family does it all the time!
Plus, this recipe has foods and flavors that my family loves.
It looks delicious. Glad you are using Libby’s I believe they are GMO free
Love black bean soup! Can’t wait to make this!

enchiladas look great! I am always looking for dairy free recipes, so nice to know there is no cheese inside.
The recipe sounds good, but I might add some jalapenos to kick up the spice level.
It look delicious. My husband is Cuban and loves cooking with black beans.
This recipe looks absolutely delicious!
I am trying to add more beans to our diet so I will definitely have to try this one. Plus I love that it makes two meals. Gotta love cooking once and eating twice!

I love recipes that I can use to make 2 different meals, especially healthy ones.
The recipe sounds tasty, and I like that you get two meals from it.
Love slow cooking recipes. This recipe is great for the upcoming seasons. Love this recipe and can always substitute meat for something else (for variety).
Sounds delicious!
Definitely going to try this!
I love slow cooker cooking! So easy to put all the ingredients in and forget about…until the aroma starts to spread through the air. Both of the recipes sound really good and pretty healthy too! I think personally I would prefer the soup though. Can’t wait to try it 🙂

karenb834atyahoo.com

Looks delicious!
This looks great! My family would enjoy this.

I like the recipe because being vegan, it’s sometimes hard to come up with meals that don’t take oodles of time with prep. This is two for one!
this would be great to make my family all gets off late so it would be nice to have something cooked when we already got home
add a bunch of crushed red pepper
Kitchenaid rocks

This recipe sounds wonderful to my Tex Mex loving taste! I really like recipes that extend to different meals. It’s a great time and money saver.
I’m making this tonight!
I would like to try the soup recipe – except maybe leave out the cilantro. For some reason I just don’t like the flavor of cilantro.
I don’t like beans. So, I would have to alter the recipe a little.
It sounds so delicious! Though I wonder if I can substitute (or even omit) the onions since I can’t have them.
I love crock pot recipes, and this one sounds really good!
This looks like a great meal that the whole family can enjoy. I love making soup especially since it is getting fall weather. This would be great to have before going to football games.
The Black Bean Soup sounds yummy! I’ve had black beans in Mexican restaurants, but not the soup. Would love to try this.
Can’t wait to try these recipes. I need a new slow cooker, so I hope I win!!
