Type: Cheese, Eggs, Vegetables
Courses: Main Course
Serves: 6 people

Recipe Ingredients

5   Flour tortillas - (or 6) (large)
1/2 cup 31g / 1.1ozChopped onion
1   Refried beans
1 1/2 cups 355mlSalsa*
1   Green enchilada sauce**
1 1/2 cups 219g / 7.7ozCheddar cheese - shredded, up to 2

Recipe Instructions

* I use a 14 oz. can of diced tomatoes with Green Chiles.

** or red enchilada sauce if desired

Drain the salsa. In a medium bowl mix the refried beans, salsa and onion. Warm the tortillas. Grease a 9 X 12 inch baking dish. Now, spread about 1/4 cup of the refried bean mixture evenly over 3/4 of one tortilla. Sprinkle with a little cheese and roll the tortilla starting with the part covered with refried beans. Place with the end of the roll down in the baking dish length-wise. Continue with the other tortillas until the baking dish is filled (I can usually fit six in the dish.) Pour the enchilada sauce over the top of the tortillas evenly and sprinkle with remaining 3/4 - 1 cup of cheese. Bake at 350F for 30 minutes.

Viva la enchilada! This is one of Brandon and my favorites. I came up with this simple recipe a couple of years ago while in college. It costs about $4.75 and lasts for two meals for us. It also takes very little time to prepare. You can top it with any of your favorite toppings too, guacamole, sour cream, black olives and shredded lettuce.
