Instructions

  1. Step 1

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

  2. Step 2

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

  3. Step 3

    Fill each tortilla with 2 tbsp of the shredded cheese and 2 tbsp of the cooked rice. Roll tightly and place seam-side down in the baking dish.

  4. Step 4

    Pour the remaining 1.5 cups of red enchilada sauce over the rolled tortillas, covering them evenly. Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of cheese on top.

  5. Step 5

    Bake for 15-20 minutes, until the sauce is bubbling and the cheese is melted and lightly golden. Top with sliced radishes and chopped cilantro before serving.
