Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 375°F. Spread 1/2 cup of the enchilada sauce on the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish.

  2. Step 2

    Warm the 8 tortillas in a dry skillet over medium heat for 30 seconds per side, until soft and pliable.

  3. Step 3

    Fill each tortilla with 1/4 cup of the shredded cheese, roll tightly, and place seam-side down in the prepared dish.

  4. Step 4

    Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the rolled tortillas, spreading to cover them evenly.

  5. Step 5

    Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of shredded cheese over the top. Bake until the sauce is bubbly and the cheese is melted, about 15 minutes.

  6. Step 6

    While the enchiladas bake, heat the refried beans in a small saucepan over medium-low, stirring occasionally, until hot, about 5 minutes.

  7. Step 7

    Serve the enchiladas with a scoop of refried beans, a dollop of sour cream, and a lime wedge on the side.

  8. Step 8

    Optional: add chopped cilantro or a pinch of chili powder on top for extra flavor.
