Bean and Cheese Enchiladas image

This lighter version of the Mexican favorite is baked with a filling of cottage cheese and black beans, then topped with a simple tomato sauce. The enchiladas would also be great with Creamy Tomatillo Sauce.

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 cups low-fat (1 percent) cottage cheese
1 can (15.5 ounces) black beans, rinsed and drained
Coarse salt and ground pepper
16 corn tortillas
Nonstick cooking spray
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
3 garlic cloves, roughly chopped
1 large white onion, diced small (1/2 cup reserved for serving)
4 teaspoons chili powder
2 tablespoons white vinegar
1 can (15 ounces) tomato puree
2 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
Fresh cilantro leaves, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a food processor, process cottage cheese until smooth. Transfer to a medium bowl and stir in black beans. Season with salt and pepper. Wrap stacked corn tortillas in a damp dish towel and microwave until softened, 2 minutes. Working with one tortilla at a time, lightly spray both sides with cooking spray, place 2 rounded tablespoons cottage cheese mixture down center of each, then roll tortilla around filling. Place, seam side down, on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake tortillas until heated through, 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, heat oil over medium-high. Add garlic and onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until onion softens, 5 minutes. Add chili powder and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. Whisk in vinegar, tomato puree, and broth; bring to a simmer and cook 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer mixture to a blender and puree until smooth (use caution when blending hot liquids). To serve, divide enchiladas among 8 plates, top with 1/3 cup sauce, and sprinkle with onion and cilantro.

These enchiladas were a bit bland for my taste. I think I would add some more spices next time.

These enchiladas were a hit with my family! They were easy to make and so delicious. The flavor of the beans and cheese was perfect together and the enchilada sauce was just the right amount of spicy.
