Refried Bean and Cheese Enchiladas image

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.

cooking spray
2 (16 ounce) cans refried beans
2 cups shredded Mexican cheese blend, divided
½ cup chopped onion

2 (10 ounce) cans red enchilada sauce

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a 9x13-inch casserole dish with cooking spray.

VEGETARIAN BEAN AND CHEESE ENCHILADAS



Vegetarian Bean and Cheese Enchiladas image

A few notes: Scale this recipe up or down as needed. For a 10-inch square or round baking dish, these proportions are about right. Use more or less sauce if you are using a larger or smaller pan. I am using this tart pan here. For a 9x13-inch pan, I imagine using 1.5 times this recipe will be about right. I am partial to using flour tortillas, which is not traditional, but I find them to be more flavorful. When I have a stash of Caramelo tortillas on hand, that is my preference. When I don't, I look for the tortillas made from a blend of flour and corn (Trader Joe's, Whole Foods) or I make them from scratch (this one is made with sourdough starter or discard). If you are using Caramelo tortillas, char them on one side in a skillet. If you are using standard flour tortillas, warm them in a skillet before using - this makes them more pliable and therefore easier to roll. The success of this recipe relies on using super flavorful black beans. This is my favorite way to prepare black beans: Simplest Slow Cooker Black Beans. If you are using canned beans, consider draining and rinsing them, then placing them in a pot with enough water to cover, a healthy splash of olive oil, a bay leaf, some crushed red pepper flakes, a good pinch of salt, and a clover of garlic. Simmer gently for 15-20 minutes or until the beans have taken on some flavors from the broth. See notes in the post above for freezing the unbaked enchiladas.

Categories     Dinner

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 cup enchilada sauce
7 to 8 flour tortillas, 6-8 inches, lightly warmed, see notes above
1.5 cups cooked black beans, I use this slow-cooker recipe, see notes above
4 ounces Monterey Jack cheese, grated
1/2 cup cilantro, finely chopped
4 scallions, thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 425ºF.
  • In a 10-inch baking dish (see notes above regarding other vessels), spread 1/2 cup of the enchilada sauce.
  • Place a tortilla on work surface. Spread 2 to 3 tablespoons of beans across the center. Top with a light sprinkling of cheese. Fold the tortilla in half; then roll into a coil (see video for guidance with the rolling). Transfer to the sauced baking dish, seam side down. Repeat with the remaining tortillas until you have filled the dish.
  • Spread another 1/2 cup enchilada sauce over top. Sprinkle the cilantro and scallions over top. Top with the remaining cheese. (At this point, you can cover the dish and place it in the fridge for up to 24 hours.)
  • Transfer pan to the oven (uncover it if you stashed it in the fridge) and bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until some of the cheese is beginning to blister.
  • Let cool briefly, then serve.

VEGETARIAN BEAN AND CHEESE ENCHILADAS



Vegetarian Bean and Cheese Enchiladas image

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.

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 medium yellow onions, finely chopped
1 red bell pepper or poblano chile, stemmed, seeded and cut into 1/4-inch pieces
4 garlic cloves, peeled and thinly sliced
Kosher salt and black pepper
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 (15-ounce) can fire-roasted tomatoes, preferably crushed (see Tip)
2 teaspoons chili powder
1/2 teaspoon hot sauce or 1 chipotle chile in adobo, chopped (optional)
1/4 cup sour cream, plus more for serving (optional)
2 (15-ounce) cans black beans, rinsed
5 ounces mild Cheddar or Monterey Jack cheese, grated (about 1 1/4 cups)
10 to 12 (6-inch) soft corn or flour tortillas
Fresh cilantro leaves and stems, for serving

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.

VEGETARIAN BEAN ENCHILADAS



Vegetarian Bean Enchiladas image

This is a tasty enchilada recipe that I made up when I stopped eating meat. Not vegan, but a great crowd pleaser. You can substitute different types of beans depending on preference. It is also possible to use just cheese for the topping, but the cream does help with flavor and consistency a lot.

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 50m

Yield 12 enchiladas, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 green bell pepper, diced
2 tablespoons olive oil
8 ounces cream cheese
1 lb vegetarian refried beans
15 ounces canned red kidney beans or 15 ounces canned black beans
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup salsa, divided
12 flour tortillas
1 cup shredded cheese
1/4 cup heavy cream

Steps:

  • To make enchilada filling: saute bell pepper in warm olive oil in a large skillet until tender. Add cream cheese and refried beans and heat until melted, stirring often.
  • Add kidney or black beans to the skillet, all spices, and 1/2 cup salsa. Heat through. Filling will be very soupy. You may want to let it cool to thicken before filling tortillas.
  • Grease 9x13 baking pan. Place 1/3-1/2 cup of filling in each tortilla. Tuck ends of tortilla in, and roll up. Place side by side in baking pan.
  • Heat cheese and cream in a saucepan until melted and creamy. Pour over enchiladas. Top each enchilada with a spoonful of remaining salsa.
  • Bake at 400°F for 30 minutes. Allow to cool at least 10 minutes or filling will be too hot and runny,.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use a variety of beans in your enchiladas. Black beans, pinto beans, and kidney beans are all good choices.
  • Be sure to rinse and drain the beans before using them. This will help to remove any excess starch and make the enchiladas less likely to be mushy.
  • If you don't have any enchilada sauce on hand, you can make your own by simmering a can of tomato sauce with some chili powder, cumin, and oregano.
  • To make the enchiladas ahead of time, assemble them and then cover them tightly with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for up to 24 hours before baking.
  • When you're ready to bake the enchiladas, preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). Bake the enchiladas for 20-25 minutes, or until they are heated through and the cheese is melted.

Conclusion:

Vegetarian bean and cheese enchiladas are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. They are also a great way to use up leftover beans. With a few simple ingredients, you can have a tasty and satisfying meal on the table in no time.
