  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Coat a 9x13-inch baking pan with nonstick spray.
  • Heat oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Saute beef until no longer pink in the center, 5 to 10 minutes. Add onion and cook until transparent, about 2 minutes more. Add black beans, enchilada sauce, and green chiles. Simmer until slightly thickened, about 10 minutes.
