Recipe for Mexican Bean and Cheese Enchiladas

According to Saednews, Bean and cheese enchiladas are a Mexican dish in which tortillas are filled with a variety of ingredients and baked with sauce.


Ingredients for Bean and Cheese Enchiladas

  • 2 cups cottage cheese

  • 440 g black beans

  • 16 tortillas

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil

  • 3 cloves garlic

  • 1 onion

  • 4 tablespoons chili powder

  • 2 tablespoons white vinegar

  • 425 g tomato paste

  • 2 cups vegetable broth


Instructions for Bean and Cheese Enchiladas

Finely chop the onion and chop the garlic into slightly larger pieces. It is preferable to use low-fat cottage cheese. Wash and drain the beans before using.

You can store the leftover sauce in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to one week or in the freezer for up to three months.

Preheat the oven to 180°C (356°F). In a blender, mix the cottage cheese until smooth and creamy.

Transfer it to a medium bowl, mix it with the black beans, and season with salt and pepper.

Warm the tortillas in the microwave for about 2 minutes until soft. Lightly brush both sides of each tortilla with oil, place about 2 tablespoons of the cheese mixture in the center, and fold the tortillas around the filling. Bake them in the oven for 8 to 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, heat a little oil in a medium pan. Add the garlic and onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until the onion becomes soft. Add the chili powder and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Then add vinegar, tomato paste, and vegetable broth, stirring well. Reduce the heat and let it simmer for 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper as desired.

Transfer the mixture to a blender and blend until smooth (be careful when blending hot liquids).

To serve, place the enchiladas in 8 separate plates, pour about one-third cup of sauce over each, and garnish with chopped onion and cilantro.
