Enchiladas

Baked stuffed tortillas that go soft and pasta-like when baked in the salsa


12 tortillas

Olive oil

1 onion

2 cloves garlic

1 can tomatoes

1t dried oregano

1t cumin

chilli/tobasco to taste

2 cups refried beans

3 cups mixed veges – avocado, capsicum, mushrooms, tomato, corn, spinach, green beans, etc

2 cups grated cheese


Brown onion + garlic in olive oil. Add tomatoes, oregano and cumin and simmer a few minutes. Season with chilli/tobasco + freshly ground black pepper.

Sauté chopped veges in olive oil.

Put a little of the tomato sauce in the bottom of a large casserole dish (save most of it for spreading on top).

Spread a little refried beans + vege mixture across middle of each tortilla + roll (it takes surprisingly little to fill an enchilada, so don’t overdo it or they become hard to roll).

Place flap side down in casserole dish + pour over remaining sauce, then sprinkle with cheese. Make sure the tortillas are well covered with the sauce, or they will go tough and dry when baked.

Bake 20-25 min until thoroughly warmed.
