Delicious Brunch Enchiladas

Ingredients:

  • 8 corn tortillas
  • 1 cup cooked and shredded chicken
  • 1 cup refried beans
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or your favorite)
  • 2 cups enchilada sauce (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1 bell pepper, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Let the magic begin!
  2. In a skillet over medium heat, sauté the chopped onion, bell pepper, and garlic until they’re tender and smelling irresistible—about 5 minutes.
  3. Add the cooked chicken, refried beans, cumin, salt, and pepper to the skillet and mix well. You want it all to come together like a happy family reunion.
  4. Now, in a separate bowl, pour in one cup of your enchilada sauce and set the rest aside for later. That’s right, the sauce is the star of the show!
  5. Warm the corn tortillas in a dry skillet for about 30 seconds on each side—this makes them pliable and easier to roll. Plus, it’s a great way to fill your kitchen with delightful tortilla aroma.
  6. To assemble, take a tortilla, spoon some of the chicken mixture down the center, sprinkle a bit of cheese on top, and roll it up like a little present. Place seam-side down in a greased baking dish.
  7. Once your tortillas are all snuggled in, pour the reserved enchilada sauce on top and sprinkle the remaining cheese over everything. More cheese equals more happiness!
  8. Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is all melty and bubbly. Can you smell that deliciousness?
  9. Garnish with fresh cilantro and get ready to feast. Your brunch is served!
