Cheese EnchiladasIngredients

  • 12 corn tortillas
  • 2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, or a blend)
  • 1 can (10 oz) red enchilada sauce
  • 1 cup diced onions (optional)
  • 1 can (15 oz) black beans, drained and rinsed (optional)
  • 1 cup sour cream (for serving)
  • Chopped cilantro (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a skillet over medium heat, warm the corn tortillas for about 30 seconds on each side until they are pliable. This helps prevent them from breaking when you roll them.
  3. Spread a thin layer of enchilada sauce on the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  4. Take a warm tortilla, add a generous amount of shredded cheese (and any optional ingredients like onions or black beans) to the center, and roll it up tightly. Place it seam-side down in the baking dish.
  5. Repeat the process until the baking dish is filled with enchiladas.
  6. Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the top of the rolled tortillas, ensuring they are well covered.
  7. Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the sauce.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  9. Once done, remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Serve hot, topped with sour cream and fresh cilantro.

Enjoy your homemade cheese enchiladas, a dish that is sure to please everyone around the table. Whether it’s a casual meal or a festive occasion, these enchiladas will always be a hit!
