Yield 6-8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 tablespoons plus 1/4 cup olive oil
2 cups chopped onions
4 garlic cloves, minced
2 (15- to 16-ounce) cans pinto beans, drained
1 1/2 cups (or more) whole milk
1 1/2 cups (or more) water
1 teaspoon minced serrano chile with seeds
3/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon dried Mexican oregano
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
12 (5 1/2- to 6-inch-diameter) corn tortillas
2 1/4 cups crumbled queso ranchero (see Note)
Chopped fresh cilantro
Sour cream

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Oil 13x9x2-inch glass baking dish. Heat 3 tablespoons oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions and garlic and sauté until onions are golden, about 8 minutes. Add beans, 1 1/2 cups milk, and 1 1/2 cups water; simmer until onions are tender, stirring occasionally, about 10 minutes. Mash beans coarsely in skillet. Mix in chile and all spices; season with salt and pepper. Add more milk or water by 1/4 cupfuls to thin bean mixture to slightly soupy consistency.
  • Heat remaining 1/4 cup oil in another large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tortilla at a time; cook until tortilla softens, about 30 seconds per side. Transfer tortilla to work surface. Place 1 heaping tablespoon cheese in center of each tortilla; fold in half. Place in prepared dish, overlapping tortillas slightly. Top with bean sauce.
  • Bake until enfrijoladas are heated through and sauce is bubbling, about 20 minutes. Sprinkle with remaining queso ranchero and cilantro. Serve with sour cream.
