Ingredients

Scale
  • 810 corn or flour tortillas (68 inch)
  • 2 cups refried beans (canned or homemade)
  • 2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar or Monterey Jack)
  • 2 cups enchilada sauce (red or green)
  • 1/2 cup diced onions (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro (for garnish, optional)
  • Sour cream (for serving, optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine refried beans and diced onions if using.
  3. Spread a little enchilada sauce on the bottom of a baking dish.
  4. Place a tortilla on a flat surface, add a generous amount of the bean mixture and some cheese, then roll the tortilla tightly.
  5. Repeat this process for all tortillas.
  6. Arrange the rolled enchiladas in the baking dish seam-side down.
  7. Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the top and sprinkle with more cheese.
  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
