Expert Tips

If you like enchiladas but would prefer beef or chicken, omit the beans and substitute 1 1/2 cups cooked ground beef or chopped cooked chicken.

The pinto beans in these enchiladas give a generous dose of fiber, and the cheeses provide over a fourth of your daily calcium needs.

I made these for my boyfriend and his friends and they loved it!!! THey said it was the best bean burrito that they ever ate. I put lots of chili pepper flakes and some more garlic to make it zippy. I wrapped it in spinach tortillas and i put some of the "salsa mix" part in with the beans. Instead of cilantro i used parsley. I topped wraps with cheese. Cooked for 20min and then topped with the "salsa mix" and put back in for a couple (that way it isn't soggy"). Awesome! Awesome! Awesome!

eh, its was ok but I would not make them again, ricotta lends a not so mexican flavor and texture to this "mexican," I would much rather make authentic enchiladas myself

This is an excellent recipe! The flavors are great, there's no meat, and it's prepared from ingredients likely to be on hand. This is one recipe that doesn't call for enchilada sauce, but directs you to make it. Very tasty!
