Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350ðF (175ðC) and lightly grease a shallow baking dish.
  2. In a medium bowl, mash the cooked pinto beans with bottled salsa or picante sauce until well combined but still slightly chunky.
  3. Divide the bean mixture evenly among the 8 corn tortillas, spooning the mixture down the center of each one.
  4. Cut half of the cheddar cheese into 8 thin sticks and place one stick on top of the beans on each tortilla.
  5. Carefully roll up each tortilla to enclose the filling and place them seam-side down in the prepared baking dish.
  6. Pour the enchilada sauce evenly over all the rolled tortillas, ensuring they are fully covered.
  7. Grate the remaining cheddar cheese and sprinkle it generously over the sauce-covered enchiladas.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 18 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the sauce is bubbling.
  9. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before garnishing with shredded lettuce and sour cream.
