Servings: 6

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.
