Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- For the sauce: Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onions, and cook, stirring frequently, until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic, chile powder, cumin and cayenne, and continue to cook, stirring, until the spices are toasted, about 1 minute. Add 2 cups water, the tomato puree and 1/2 teaspoon salt, and bring to a simmer. Continue cooking until the sauce reduces and thickens slightly (it should be looser and thinner than marinara sauce), 15 to 20 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly.
- For the filling: Squeeze all the excess moisture out of the spinach. Put it into a large bowl with the pinto beans, and squeeze with your hands to combine and smash up the beans a little. Add half of both the Cheddar and the pepper Jack, half of both the sour cream and the scallions and 1 1/4 teaspoons salt, and stir to combine.
- Spread about 1/2 cup of the tomato sauce in the bottom of a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Lay the tortillas out on a work surface, and spread 1 side of each with about 1 teaspoon of tomato sauce. Put about 1/4 cup of the filling across the middle of each tortilla. Roll each up, then shingle them in 2 even rows in the baking dish. Pour the remaining sauce over the top of the rolled tortillas, and sprinkle with the remaining cheeses. Cover the baking dish loosely with foil, and bake until the cheeses are melted and the filling is hot, about 30 minutes. Uncover, and continue baking to heat completely through, about 10 minutes more.
- For the topping: Whisk together the remaining sour cream, the lime juice and a pinch of salt in a small bowl. Drizzle the mixture over the baked enchiladas, and sprinkle with the remaining scallions.

VEGETARIAN BEAN AND CHEESE ENCHILADAS
Enchiladas can be a bit of a project, but here, the process has been streamlined, making them a truly possible weeknight endeavor. Begin by sautéing peppers, onions and garlic until charred in spots, then blend half of the vegetables with canned tomatoes and chili powder for the sauce and combine the rest with black beans, shredded cheese and cumin for the filling. If you're short on time, you could use store-bought enchilada sauce (you'll need three cups), but quality varies, so taste it and add whatever you think is missing: chipotle in adobo or chili powder for smokiness, hot sauce for heat, dried oregano or fresh cilantro for complexity and salt for overall flavor.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 425 degrees. In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-high. Add the onions, bell pepper and garlic; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and charred in spots, 6 to 8 minutes. Stir in the cumin and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Remove from heat.
- Transfer half the vegetable mixture to a blender; add the tomatoes, chili powder and hot sauce. Blend until very smooth. Season to taste with salt and pepper. (If your blender isn't particularly strong and the sauce looks more like a chunky purée, add 1/4 cup sour cream and blend again until smooth.)
- Add the black beans and 1/2 cup cheese to the remaining vegetables in the skillet and stir to combine. Some canned beans are already salted, so taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
- Spread out the tortillas directly on the oven rack and heat until warmed and pliable, 1 to 2 minutes, then wrap in a kitchen towel to keep warm. Pour half the enchilada sauce (about 1 1/2 cups) into a medium casserole dish or a 9-by-13-inch baking pan and spread it to cover the bottom of the dish.
- Line up the filling, tortillas and baking dish in a row. Place a little more than 1/4 cup of the bean mixture in the center of one tortilla. Roll up the tortilla and place in the casserole dish, seam-side down. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.
- Pour the remaining sauce over the enchiladas, then sprinkle with the remaining 3/4 cup cheese. Bake until the cheese has melted, about 10 minutes. Top with sour cream and cilantro and serve immediately.
Tips:
- Prep the Ingredients: Before starting, ensure all ingredients are measured, chopped, and ready to use. This helps streamline the cooking process.
- Seasoning is Key: Don't be afraid to adjust the seasonings to your taste. Add more chili powder, cumin, or cayenne pepper for a spicier dish.
- Soften the Tortillas: To prevent cracking, warm the tortillas in the microwave or wrap them in a damp paper towel and heat them for a few seconds.
- Proper Filling Distribution: When filling the tortillas, spread the cottage cheese mixture evenly to ensure each bite has a balanced flavor.
- Baking Time and Temperature: Keep an eye on the enchiladas while baking. The ideal temperature is 375°F (190°C) for about 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Fresh Toppings: Before serving, top the enchiladas with fresh cilantro, sour cream, and salsa for an extra burst of flavor and color.
