Ingredients
  

  • 1 batch refried beans, shortcut listed below
  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • 3 cups Cheddar cheese, shredded, or a 4 cheese blend
  • 1 packet enchilada sauce, OR make from a shortcut

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the refried beans from the shortcut below, I don't know how many cups or cans this makes, I make mine in batches of 500 grams (1 lb) dry beans. These take 8 hours, so you can either start the beans really early or make the casserole the next day, which is what I did.
  • Preheat your oven to 180 C (350 F). Prepare the enchilada sauce according to the package or shortcut instructions.
  • Lay a tortilla on your work surface, spread some refried beans in the middle, top with some shredded cheese.
  • Fold or roll up the tortilla and place seam side down in a 7x11 baking dish. Repeat with the remaining 3 tortillas.
  • Spoon some beans into each end of the dish.
  • Spoon the rest of the beans over the top of the enchiladas and spread out evenly. Pour on the enchilada sauce, then top with the remaining cheese.
  • Bake for 20-30 minutes to warm through and brown the cheese.
  • Let casserole rest for a few minutes, then dig in and enjoy (see, I said it was nothing special to look at).

Notes

I will price this next time I get the cheese I used. For now I will say fair cost.
