Enchilada - Method 2


There’s already one recipe for Enchilada, which can be found here. What’s different in this recipe is enchilada sauce is made from scratch and I have also used refried beans, which gives authentic flavor to any Mexican dish. Sauce and refried beans are very easy to make. 

Enchilada Sauce recipe can be found here - Enchilada Sauce
Refried beans here - Refried Beans

Do try!



Ingredients
Tortillas - 10 - organic whole wheat frozen tortillas(from costco, with just 5 ingredients, no preservative)
Oil
Jeera

Mix veg (enough for 10 enchiladas) 
Corn - small frozen bag
Capsicum -  1 green - cubed
Onion - 1/2 of 1 big 
Cilantro - chopped 
Cheese - as required - Mexican blend preferable. 

Spices
Oregano - 1 tsp
Pepper - 1/4 tsp
Cayenne pepper powder/ paprika(or red chili powder) - 1/2 tsp - I skipped this as my enchilada sauce was very spicy. 

Enchilada Sauce - made from 7 tomatoes - enough for 2 cups sauce 

Refried beans - made from 2 cups rajma(red kidney beans) 

Method
In a pan add oil + jeera + all vegetables + salt + crushed oregano and other spices(if adding any) - sauté till moisture is gone. Add cilantro. Mix well. Let the mixture cool down. 



Preheat oven 350 F.

Assemble:
Take a baking dish and spread some enchilada sauce in the bottom. 
Take a tortilla. Spread enchilada sauce to cover the tortilla. Spread a tbsp of refried beans, roasted veggies, and some cheese. 

Tuck it on the sides and roll it. Keep it in the baking dish. Repeat the process. Add more sauce on the top. Sprinkle some cheese. Spread some pan roasted veggies, or some jalapeños. Cover with a foil and bake for 20 min. Then bake for 5 minutes uncovered, till all the cheese is melted. Bake for more time if you want a crusty top. 

Enjoy!
