Description

Delicious bean and cheese enchiladas wrapped in soft corn tortillas and topped with rich enchilada sauce and bubbly cheese—a perfect weeknight meal.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 corn tortillas
  • 1 can refried beans
  • 2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican blend)
  • 1 can enchilada sauce
  • 1/2 cup chopped onions (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Mix refried beans, chopped onions (if using), cumin, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  3. Warm corn tortillas in a skillet or microwave to make them pliable and easier to handle.
  4. Spread a couple of tablespoons of the bean mixture on each tortilla, sprinkling with cheese, before rolling them up.
  5. Place rolled tortillas in a baking dish seam-side down, where they will hold their shape.
  6. Pour enchilada sauce over the top and sprinkle with any remaining cheese.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes until heated through and cheese is bubbly.
  8. Garnish with fresh cilantro if desired and serve warm.

Notes

Ensure tortillas are warmed properly to avoid cracking. Allow enchiladas to rest for a few minutes after baking for better presentation.
