Bean and Cheese Enchiladas image

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.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my enchiladas turned out really dry. I think I might have overcooked them.

The recipe was easy to follow, but the enchiladas didn't turn out as well as I hoped. The tortillas were too thick and the cheese didn't melt properly.

The enchiladas were a bit bland for my taste. I would add more seasoning next time.

I'm not a huge fan of beans, but these enchiladas were surprisingly good. The cheese and enchilada sauce helped to balance out the flavor of the beans.

The recipe was easy to follow and the enchiladas turned out great. I used a mix of black beans and pinto beans, and added some chopped green chiles for a little extra flavor.
