Ingredients
  

For the Enchiladas
  • 8 pieces Corn tortillas These are perfect for rolling and give a delicious authentic flavor.
  • 2 cups Refried beans A great source of protein and ensures your enchiladas are wonderfully creamy.
  • 2 cups Shredded cheese Use a blend of cheeses like cheddar and Monterey Jack for a rich, melty goodness.
  • 1 cup Green enchilada sauce It adds a zesty kick; feel free to substitute with red sauce for a different flavor profile.
  • 1 medium Onion Adds flavor; sautéing brings out its natural sweetness.
For Toppings
  • 1/2 cup Sour cream A dollop on top provides a refreshingly tangy contrast.
  • 1/4 cup Chopped cilantro Adds a fresh flavor and bright color to your enchiladas.
  • 2 pieces Fresh lime wedges Squeezing lime juice enhances the flavor significantly.

Method
 

Directions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking dish with cooking spray or oil.
  2. Sauté the chopped onion in a skillet over medium heat until translucent, about 5 minutes.
  3. Mix the sautéed onions with the refried beans and half of the shredded cheese until creamy.
  4. Warm the corn tortillas in the microwave for about 30 seconds to make them pliable.
  5. Spoon a generous portion of the filling onto each tortilla, roll them up tightly, and place seam-side down in the baking dish.
  6. Pour the green enchilada sauce evenly over the top of the enchiladas.
  7. Sprinkle the remaining shredded cheese over the enchiladas.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes until bubbling and golden brown.
  9. Let the enchiladas rest for a few minutes, then top with sour cream, cilantro, and lime juice before serving.
