Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

In a large skillet over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Once hot, add the diced onion and cook for about 3 minutes until softened.

Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil.

Step 6

Spread a thin layer of green enchilada sauce on the bottom of the baking dish.

Step 7

Warm the corn tortillas in a microwave or a skillet to make them pliable.

Step 8

Place a small amount of the bean mixture and a sprinkle of queso fresco onto each tortilla, roll them up, and place them seam side down in the prepared baking dish.

Step 9

Pour the remaining green enchilada sauce over the rolled enchiladas. Sprinkle the remaining queso fresco on top.

Step 10

Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes.

Step 12

Garnish the enchiladas with chopped cilantro and serve with lime wedges on the side.
