Method

Preparing the Enchilada Sauce

  1. 1

    Cook the Sauce

    In a medium saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add chili powder, ground cumin, garlic powder, and salt. Stir for 30 seconds until fragrant.

  2. 2

    Add Tomatoes and Broth

    Add the diced tomatoes (with juice) and vegetable broth to the saucepan. Stir well and bring to a simmer. Cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Preparing the Filling

  1. 3

    Mix the Filling

    In a large mixing bowl, combine shredded cheese, refried beans, chopped onion, and chopped cilantro. Mix until well combined.

Assembling the Enchiladas

  1. 4

    Prepare the Tortillas

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Warm the corn tortillas in a skillet or microwave until soft and pliable.

  2. 5

    Fill the Tortillas

    Take a warm tortilla, spoon about ¼ cup of the cheese filling into the center, and roll it up tightly. Place seam side down in a greased baking dish.

  3. 6

    Repeat the Process

    Repeat the filling and rolling process for all 10 tortillas and place them in the baking dish.

  4. 7

    Top with Sauce

    Pour the enchilada sauce evenly over the rolled enchiladas in the baking dish.

  5. 8

    Bake

    Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden.

  6. 9

    Garnish and Serve

    Remove from the oven, let cool for a few minutes, then garnish with sour cream and sliced olives before serving.
