Enchilada Ingredients

Method

Preparation Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Filling

    In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant. Stir in the refried beans and season with salt and black pepper to taste. Cook until warmed through, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Tortillas

    In a separate skillet or microwave, warm the corn tortillas until soft and pliable, about 30 seconds to 1 minute in the microwave or a couple of minutes on a low heat in the skillet. This will make them easier to roll.

  3. 3

    Assemble the Enchiladas

    Take one tortilla, spread a generous tablespoon of the bean mixture down the center, add about 1/3 cup of shredded cheese, and roll it tightly. Place seam-side down in a greased baking dish. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.

  4. 4

    Add Enchilada Sauce

    Once all the enchiladas are assembled, pour the enchilada sauce evenly over the top, making sure to cover all enchiladas. Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top.

  5. 5

    Bake

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the enchiladas for 20-25 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Once out of the oven, let the enchiladas cool for a few minutes. Serve hot, garnished with sour cream and chopped cilantro.
