Very yummy! I grew up making these with my mom and sisters, and everyone I knew loved them! They're easy to make and incredibly tempting! Add chicken or cilantro if you like. I suggest pairing it with easy-to-make boxed Mexican rice.

This lighter version of the Mexican favorite is baked with a filling of cottage cheese and black beans, then topped with a simple tomato sauce. The enchiladas would also be great with Creamy Tomatillo Sauce.

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 cups low-fat (1 percent) cottage cheese
1 can (15.5 ounces) black beans, rinsed and drained
Coarse salt and ground pepper
16 corn tortillas
Nonstick cooking spray
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
3 garlic cloves, roughly chopped
1 large white onion, diced small (1/2 cup reserved for serving)
4 teaspoons chili powder
2 tablespoons white vinegar
1 can (15 ounces) tomato puree
2 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
Fresh cilantro leaves, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a food processor, process cottage cheese until smooth. Transfer to a medium bowl and stir in black beans. Season with salt and pepper. Wrap stacked corn tortillas in a damp dish towel and microwave until softened, 2 minutes. Working with one tortilla at a time, lightly spray both sides with cooking spray, place 2 rounded tablespoons cottage cheese mixture down center of each, then roll tortilla around filling. Place, seam side down, on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake tortillas until heated through, 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, heat oil over medium-high. Add garlic and onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until onion softens, 5 minutes. Add chili powder and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. Whisk in vinegar, tomato puree, and broth; bring to a simmer and cook 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer mixture to a blender and puree until smooth (use caution when blending hot liquids). To serve, divide enchiladas among 8 plates, top with 1/3 cup sauce, and sprinkle with onion and cilantro.

BEAN AND CHEESE ENCHILADAS



Bean and Cheese Enchiladas image

These are really quick and easy-to-make enchiladas. You can use both cans of beans, or cut back to one.

Provided by Mark H.

Categories     Cheese

Time 50m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

12 corn tortillas
2 (15 ounce) cans ranch style beans or 2 (15 ounce) cans chili beans (Ranch Style is a brand. If not available in your area, use any brand of chili beans)
3 -4 cups of shredded cheddar cheese or 3 -4 cups monterey jack and cheddar cheese blend
1 medium onion, diced (optional)
sour cream
jalapeno
guacamole
lettuce
tomatoes

Steps:

  • Completely, but lightly cover both sides of one tortilla with shortening (Don't be afraid to use your hands), then place the tortilla on a microwave-safe plate.
  • Completely but lightly cover one side of the next tortilla and place it atop the first tortilla, shortening side up.
  • Repeat Step 2 until all tortillas are stacked, then microwave the entire stack on high for about 4 minutes and allow to cool.
  • Place shredded cheese in a bowl (if using diced onions, mix them in with the cheese now).
  • Lightly cover the bottom of a baking dish (mine is 13x9, I think) with some of the juice from the beans (This will prevent the tortillas from becoming stiff and chewy as they cook).
  • Place a generous portion of the cheese/onion mixture onto a tortilla, then roll the tortilla like a cigar (not too tight though).
  • Place into the baking dish, seam side down to prevent the enchilada from unrolling.
  • Repeat until all tortillas have been stuffed, rolled and placed into the baking dish.
  • Cover the enchiladas with the beans and any leftover cheese/onion mixture.
  • Bake at 350 for 20-30 minutes, depending on your oven.
  • Allow to cool for 5 minutes, top with any, all, or none of the optional toppings, and serve.

Tips:

  • Preparing the Cheese and Bean Filling:
  • Use a combination of sharp cheddar cheese and Monterey Jack cheese for a creamy and flavorful filling.
  • Season the filling with cumin, chili powder, and garlic powder for a Mexican-inspired flavor profile.
  • Mash the black beans until they are mostly smooth, leaving some texture for a more interesting filling.
  • Assembling the Enchiladas:
  • Use corn tortillas that are slightly warmed and pliable to prevent cracking while rolling.
  • Spread a thin layer of enchilada sauce on the bottom of the baking dish to prevent the tortillas from sticking.
  • Dip each tortilla in the enchilada sauce before filling and rolling to ensure even coverage.
  • Place the filled tortillas seam side down in the baking dish to prevent them from unrolling during baking.
  • Baking the Enchiladas:
  • Cover the baking dish with foil during baking to create a moist environment and prevent the tortillas from drying out.
  • Bake the enchiladas until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the sauce is hot and slightly thickened.
  • Serving the Enchiladas:
  • Top the enchiladas with additional enchilada sauce, shredded cheese, and chopped cilantro for a colorful and flavorful presentation.
  • Serve the enchiladas with accompaniments such as sour cream, guacamole, and sliced avocado for a complete Mexican-inspired meal.
