  • Sauce 'em: Dip each tortilla into the remaining enchilada sauce to coat both sides lightly, then lay it on a plate.
  • Fill and roll: Place about 3 tablespoons of the bean mixture and a sprinkle of cheese in the center of each tortilla, roll it up, and place it seam-side down in the baking dish.

  • Top it off: Drizzle the rest of the enchilada sauce over the rolled tortillas and cover with the remaining cheese.
  • Bake to perfection: Cook the enchiladas in the oven until the cheese is melted and bubbly, roughly 20 minutes.
  • Garnish and serve: Let the enchiladas cool for 5 minutes, then add cilantro, green onions, avocado, and queso fresco on top. Enjoy your meal warm.
