Ingredients
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 8 inch flour tortillas
- 2 cups Red Enchilada Sauce any brand works, Salsa Cremosa from Herdez is wildly delish
- 3 cups Monterey jack cheese shredded
- 1 ounce refried beans canned
- 1 ounce green chiles canned
To Garnish
- ½ cup sour cream mixed with 1 tablespoon water and 1 teaspoon chipotles in adobo
- cilantro fresh
- avocado cubed, or guacamole
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
- Heat vegetable oil in a medium skillet over medium-high. Working one at a time, fry tortilla, turning once, until just starting to brown and crisp, about 10 seconds per side. Transfer the tortilla to paper towel lined plate to drain. Repeat with remaining tortillas.
- Dip both sides of each tortilla in the enchilada sauce just to coat, then transfer to a baking sheet. Spread ½ cup of enchilada sauce lengthwise down the center of a 13x9" baking dish.
- Working one at a time, spoon 2-3 tablespoons of the refried beans into the center of the tortilla, followed by a few tablespoons of shredded jack cheese and a teaspoon of the canned green chiles. Fold one side over filling, then continue to roll enchilada up like a burrito. Place the seam side down in the prepared baking dish as you go, fitting them all in. Top with the remaining enchilada sauce and then pile on the remaining cheese.
- Cover tightly with plastic wrap or a fitted lid and freeze for up to 3 months.
- When ready to eat, remove plastic wrap, and bake at 375° F until sauce is bubbling and cheese is beginning to brown, about 20-30 minutes.
- While the enchiladas are baking, combine the sour cream and milk or water, chipotles in adobo and season with salt.
- Serve enchiladas topped with cheese, a drizzle of crema and cilantro and a dollop of guacamole.
Notes
- If baking immediately: bake at 375° F for 10-15 minutes, until sauce is bubbling and cheese is beginning to brown.
