Enchiladas

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Rice

    In a saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add 1 cup of white rice, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 18 minutes until rice is cooked. Fluff with a fork and set aside.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Black Beans

    In a small pot, heat 1 cup of black beans over medium heat until warmed through. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Assembling Enchiladas

  1. 3

    Fill the Tortillas

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a skillet, warm the corn tortillas for a few seconds on each side to make them pliable. Spread a couple of tablespoons of refried beans into the center of each tortilla, sprinkle with shredded cheese, and roll them up tightly.

  2. 4

    Arrange in Baking Dish

    Spread a thin layer of enchilada sauce on the bottom of a baking dish. Place the rolled tortillas seam-side down in the dish. Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the top and sprinkle with the remaining shredded cheese.

  3. 5

    Bake

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

  4. 6

    Serve

    Once baked, remove from the oven and sprinkle with crumbled queso fresco. Serve the enchiladas with the cooked rice and black beans on the side. Garnish with fresh cilantro and lime wedges.
