Ingredients

1 Pkg. HERDEZ™Traditional Refried Beans or 2 cups Homemade beans
1 cup of HERDEZ® Salsa Verde or 1 cup homemade salsa verde
1 cup of chicken broth or warm water
Salt to taste
3 tablespoons of vegetable oil
12 medium-size corn tortillas
8 oz. Queso Fresco cut into thin slices
4 tablespoons of Mexican Cream or Sour Cream
⅓ medium white onion sliced

OPTIONAL GARNISH:

½ medium-size avocado cut into slices (optional)
2 chorizo links cooked and crumbled (optional)

Instructions

Cook the beans

Prepare the HERDEZ™ Traditional refried beans in a skillet according to the package’s instructions.
Add 1 cup of salsa verde, and 1 cup of chicken broth to the beans and mix.
Cook for 4-5 minutes to allow all the flavors to blend on medium-high heat. Season with salt.

Lightly fry tortillas

On medium heat, add the oil to a small frying pan and lightly fry each tortilla on both sides. Place them on a plate.
Dip each tortilla into the bean mixture using a pair of kitchen tongs.

Fold the enchiladas

Place the tortillas on a plate and fold them into quarters.
Add a slice of queso fresco inside each tortilla.
Garnish with Mexican crema and onion slices.
Sprinkle a few teaspoons of queso fresco (optional)

If using the avocado and chorizo, top the enchiladas with them or serve them on the side. Serve the rest of the HERDEZ® Salsa Verde on the side and enjoy your Pinto bean enchiladas!

Notes

If you use homecooked beans, first saute some white onions with a few teaspoons of oil until the onions are translucent. Then pour the beans and, with a potato masher, mash the beans. Or you can use your blender until it is a smooth puree.
