These enchiladas are the best I’ve ever made! We gobbled them and wanted more. And the leftovers are just as good reheated as fresh out of the oven. This would be a great recipe to make in advance and freeze for later.

Here’s How to Do it:

Start with the filling. Put 1/2 cup of the cheese in a food processor with the beans and spices.

Process until it is chunky with some of the beans still whole. Set aside.

Preheat the oven to 350° –

Soften the tortillas by heating them lightly in the microwave. You’ll need to be able to roll them without having them break.

Sprinkle the oil in the bottom of a casserole dish.

Fill each tortilla with about 1 cup of the filling and roll,

placing them in the pan, side by side.

Top everything with the enchilada sauce. It’s going to look like a lot, but once it’s cooked it will be wonderful!!

Top with the rest of the cheese.

Bake for about 30 to 45 minutes. The cheese will be browned and the sauce will be really thick.

    These enchiladas look yummy! I’ve been trying to focus on plant-based meals for the past 6 months, and my doctor is happy with me. It really is healthier than eating lots of meat dishes. Thank you for linking up at Talent-Sharing Tuesdays on Scribbling Boomer.
