Description

These vegetarian enchiladas feature a hearty 2-bean filling with black beans and vegetarian refried beans, combined with diced green chiles, taco seasoning, and a melty cheese topping baked in a flavorful red enchilada sauce.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups red enchilada sauce
  • 15 ounces black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 4 ounces diced green chiles
  • 1 tablespoon taco seasoning, divided
  • 12 garlic cloves, pressed (optional)
  • 2 scallions, chopped
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt, or to taste
  • 15 ounces vegetarian refried beans
  • ½ tablespoon no salt taco seasoning
  • 8 flour tortillas, or approximately 12 corn tortillas
  • 2 cups shredded cheese (cheddar and Monterey Jack recommended)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F. Spread ½ cup of enchilada sauce evenly across the bottom of a 9×13-inch baking pan.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine black beans, diced green chiles, ½ tablespoon taco seasoning, pressed garlic (if using), and scallions. Add salt to taste.
  3. Mix vegetarian refried beans with the remaining ½ tablespoon taco seasoning.
  4. Arrange your workspace with enchilada sauce, black bean mixture, refried beans, and shredded cheese.
  5. Spread 1 tablespoon of enchilada sauce onto each tortilla or dip the tortillas in the sauce. Place 3 tablespoons of refried beans in the center, top with 3 tablespoons of black bean mixture, and sprinkle with cheese.
  6. Roll the tortilla tightly around the filling and place it seam-side down in the baking dish.
  7. Continue filling and rolling tortillas until all are prepared. Pour remaining enchilada sauce over the rolled enchiladas and sprinkle with remaining cheese.
  8. Bake for 25-30 minutes, until cheese is melted and bubbly.
  9. Allow to rest for 5-10 minutes after baking. Garnish with reserved scallion greens and serve with toppings if desired.

Notes
