Ingredients
- Fresh cilantro
- 1/2 cup, chopped (for garnish)
- Shredded cheese
- 2 cups (cheddar or mexican blend)
- Salt
- 1 teaspoon
- Cumin
- 1 teaspoon
- Chili powder
- 1 tablespoon
- Tomato sauce
- 2 cups
- Garlic
- 2 cloves, minced
- Onion
- 1 medium, chopped
- Vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons
- Refried beans
- 2 cups
- Corn tortillas
- 12
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Add the tomato sauce, chili powder, cumin, and salt to the skillet. Stir well and let the sauce simmer for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- In a separate skillet, warm the corn tortillas for a few seconds on each side until pliable. This step prevents the tortillas from cracking when rolled.
- Spread about 2 tablespoons of refried beans onto each tortilla and roll them up tightly to form enchiladas.
- Place the rolled enchiladas seam side down in a baking dish. Pour the prepared sauce over them, ensuring they are fully covered.
- Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly on top of the enchiladas.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.
Tips
- For a spicier kick, add diced jalapeños or substitute half of the chili powder with chipotle powder.
- You can use homemade refried beans for a fresher taste, or opt for store-bought for convenience.
- Experiment with different cheese blends for varied flavor profiles, such as using queso fresco for a more authentic touch.
