Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it is hot when you bake the enchiladas.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Sauce

    In a small saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, and cumin. Stir for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Add the enchilada sauce and simmer for 5-10 minutes, adjusting salt to taste.

Assembling the Enchiladas

  1. 3

    Fill the Tortillas

    Take a corn tortilla and spread about 2 tablespoons of refried beans in the center. Top with 2-3 tablespoons of shredded cheese.

  2. 4

    Roll the Tortillas

    Roll the tortilla tightly around the filling and place it seam-side down in a baking dish. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.

  3. 5

    Add Sauce

    Pour the prepared enchilada sauce evenly over the rolled tortillas in the baking dish, making sure they are well coated.

Baking

  1. 6

    Bake the Enchiladas

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

Serving

  1. 7

    Garnish and Serve

    Once baked, remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Top with sour cream, chopped green onions, and cilantro before serving.
