Easy Bean and Cheese Enchiladas

A quick, comforting, and budget-friendly vegetarian meal featuring creamy refried beans and melted cheese wrapped in soft tortillas.

  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale

12 corn or flour tortillas
1 can (16 oz) refried beans
1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed
2 cups shredded Monterey Jack and Cheddar cheese blend
1 can (15 oz) red enchilada sauce
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
Fresh cilantro and sour cream for garnish

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
Step 2: In a medium bowl, combine the refried beans, black beans, cumin, and garlic powder. Stir until well mixed.
Step 3: Pour about 1/2 cup of enchilada sauce into the bottom of the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly.
Step 4: Soften the tortillas by heating them in the microwave for 30 seconds between damp paper towels.
Step 5: Place 2-3 tablespoons of the bean mixture and a sprinkle of cheese onto each tortilla. Roll tightly and place seam-side down in the dish.
Step 6: Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the rolled tortillas and top with the remaining cheese.
Step 7: Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the sauce is bubbly and the cheese is melted and slightly golden.
Step 8: Let cool for 5 minutes before serving with your favorite toppings.

Notes

For extra spice, add diced green chiles to the bean mixture. Corn tortillas provide a more traditional texture, while flour tortillas are easier to roll.
