Description

A quick and satisfying Mexican-inspired dish made with flour tortillas filled with seasoned beans and gooey cheese, then baked in enchilada sauce until bubbly and delicious.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 8 flour tortillas
  • 2 cups canned refried beans
  • 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (or Mexican blend)
  • 2 cups enchilada sauce (red or green)
  • 1/2 tsp cumin
  • 1/2 tsp chili powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro (optional)
  • Sour cream and sliced green onions, for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a bowl, mix refried beans with cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper.
  3. Spread 1/2 cup of enchilada sauce on the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  4. Place a scoop of the bean mixture and a sprinkle of cheese onto each tortilla. Roll up and place seam-side down in the dish.
  5. Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the top of the rolled tortillas and sprinkle with the remaining cheese.
  6. Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Remove foil and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, until cheese is melted and bubbly.
  7. Garnish with chopped cilantro, green onions, and a dollop of sour cream before serving.

Notes

  • Use corn tortillas for a gluten-free version.
  • Add sautéed onions or jalapeños for extra flavor.
  • Great for meal prep—store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days.
