Very yummy! I grew up making these with my mom and sisters, and everyone I knew loved them! They're easy to make and incredibly tempting! Add chicken or cilantro if you like. I suggest pairing it with easy-to-make boxed Mexican rice.

Tips:

To make the refried beans, you can use canned or cooked dried beans. If using canned beans, rinse and drain them well before mashing.
For a smoother refried bean filling, use a food processor or blender to puree the beans until they are very smooth.
If you don't have any enchilada sauce on hand, you can make your own by simmering tomatoes, onions, garlic, and chili peppers in a saucepan until the sauce has thickened.
To prevent the enchiladas from sticking to the pan, grease it lightly with cooking spray or oil before assembling the enchiladas.
If you are using a lot of cheese, it is a good idea to pre-shred it before assembling the enchiladas. This will save you time and help the cheese melt evenly.
To make sure the enchiladas are cooked through, bake them for at least 20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Conclusion:

Refried bean enchiladas are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are perfect for a weeknight dinner or a casual party. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a tasty and satisfying meal that your family and friends will love.
