1 cup salsa
1 1⁄2 cups corn (fresh or frozen, or a 15-ounce can drained and rinsed)
1⁄2 cup chopped mild green chiles (4-ounce can)
1⁄2 teaspoon garlic powder or 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped

1 can (15 ounces) enchilada sauce
Cheesy Enchiladas

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly oil or spray a 9 x 13-inch baking dish.
  2. Mix beans, salsa, corn, chiles, garlic and half of the cheese together in a bowl.
  3. Warm each tortilla in a dry skillet and stack them on a plate.
  4. Spoon about 1/2 cup of the bean mixture onto each tortilla.
  5. Roll the tortilla and place seam-side down in the baking dish.
  6. Pour enchilada sauce over the tortillas and sprinkle with remaining cheese.
  7. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until hot.
  8. Refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours.

Notes

Substitute black beans or kidney beans for the pinto beans.

Cook your own dry beans. One can (15 ounces) is about 1 1/2 to 1 3/4 cups drained beans.

Try substituting cooked chicken or turkey for beans.

Topping ideas: hot sauce, avocado, black olives, green onion, lettuce, radishes, or low-fat plain yogurt or sour cream.
