Preparation

Cooking the Base

  • In a large pan, heat a splash of oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and bell pepper, cooking for about 5–7 minutes until soft.

  • Take the corn tortillas and fill each with the bean mixture. Roll tightly and place seam-side down into the baking dish.
  • Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the top of the tortillas.
