Bean Cheese And Corn Enchiladas Food

SOUTHWEST BLACK BEAN AND CORN ENCHILADAS

Steps:

• Heat oil in a pan until it shimmers.
• Add the onion and bell pepper and cook for about thirty seconds.
• Add the garlic, cumin and mexican oregano and cook until the onions and peppers are really soft.
• Add the salsa and black beans and cook until heated through.
• Using a potato masher, roughly mash the black beans so that some are broken and some are whole.
• Add the corn and cook until heated through.
• Stir in the sour cream.
• Spray a 9 X 13" casserole pan with cooking spray.
• Spread about a 1/2 cup of the enchilada sauce over the bottom of the casserole dish.
• Spoon the black bean mixture evenly in the center of the tortillas.
• Roll the tortillas up leaving the ends open, and place them seem down in the casserole dish. When I made this I got 6 pretty well stuffed tortillas and it almost totally filled my baking pan.
• Pour the rest of the enchilada sauce over the enchiladas, and use more or less to suit your liking.
• Cooking times vary. If you make this dish ahead of time and put it in the fridge and it cools down all the way I cover it with foil and put it in a 350 degree oven for 30 minutes, and then uncover it and sprinkle the cheese all over it and return it to the oven for another 15 minutes or until it's bubbling and heated through. If you make the bean mixture and stuff the tortillas immediately you won't have to bake it for as long, 10 minutes at 350 degrees uncovered and then sprinkle the cheese over and bake for another 10 minutes and that should do it. Since everything has already been cooked the key here is just getting it heated through.
• Serve topped with your favorite enchilada toppings.
• Enjoy!

REFRIED BEAN AND CHEESE ENCHILADAS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a 9x13-inch casserole dish with cooking spray.
• Mix refried beans, 1 1/2 cup Mexican cheese blend, and onion in a microwave-safe bowl; heat in microwave until cheese is melted, about 1 minute.
• Stack tortillas, 3 at a time, on a microwave-safe plate; heat in microwave until warmed, about 30 seconds. Repeat with remaining tortillas.
• Pour enough enchilada sauce onto a small plate to cover. Quickly dip both sides of each tortilla in enchilada sauce. Spoon bean filling down the middle of each dipped tortilla and wrap tortilla around filling. Arrange filled tortillas in the prepared baking dish. Pour remaining enchilada sauce over filled tortillas and sprinkle remaining cheese over sauce layer. Cover dish with aluminum foil.
• Bake in the preheated oven until sauce is bubbling and cheese is melted, 35 and 40 minutes.

BEAN AND CHEESE ENCHILADAS

Steps:

• Completely, but lightly cover both sides of one tortilla with shortening (Don't be afraid to use your hands), then place the tortilla on a microwave-safe plate.
• Completely but lightly cover one side of the next tortilla and place it atop the first tortilla, shortening side up.
• Repeat Step 2 until all tortillas are stacked, then microwave the entire stack on high for about 4 minutes and allow to cool.
• Place shredded cheese in a bowl (if using diced onions, mix them in with the cheese now).
• Lightly cover the bottom of a baking dish (mine is 13x9, I think) with some of the juice from the beans (This will prevent the tortillas from becoming stiff and chewy as they cook).
• Place a generous portion of the cheese/onion mixture onto a tortilla, then roll the tortilla like a cigar (not too tight though).
• Place into the baking dish, seam side down to prevent the enchilada from unrolling.
• Repeat until all tortillas have been stuffed, rolled and placed into the baking dish.
• Cover the enchiladas with the beans and any leftover cheese/onion mixture.
• Bake at 350 for 20-30 minutes, depending on your oven.
• Allow to cool for 5 minutes, top with any, all, or none of the optional toppings, and serve.
