Ingredients

  • 1 can (14.5 oz) Muir Glen™ organic diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 1 medium onion, chopped (1/2 cup)
  • 1 clove garlic, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 2 teaspoons honey
  • 1/8 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1 can (15 oz) pinto beans, drained, rinsed
  • 1 cup low-fat or regular ricotta cheese
  • 1 small green bell pepper, chopped (1/2 cup)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 6 flour tortillas (8 inch)
  • 1/4 cup shredded Cheddar cheese (1 oz)
  • 1/4 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese (1 oz)

Steps

  • 1
    Heat oven to 375°F. Spray 13x9-inch (3-quart) glass baking dish with cooking spray. In blender or food processor, place tomatoes, onion and garlic. Cover; blend until smooth.
  • 2
    In 2-quart saucepan, cook blended mixture, 2 tablespoons of the cilantro, the honey and red pepper flakes over medium heat 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • 3
    In medium bowl, mix beans, ricotta cheese, bell pepper, cumin and remaining 2 tablespoons cilantro. Spread 1/2 cup tomato sauce in baking dish. Spoon 1/2 cup bean mixture down center of each tortilla. Roll up tortillas; place seam sides down on tomato sauce in dish. Spoon remaining tomato sauce over filled tortillas. Sprinkle with cheeses.
  • 4
    Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until tomato sauce is bubbly and cheese is melted.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    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.
  • tip 2
    The pinto beans in these enchiladas give a generous dose of fiber, and the cheeses provide over a fourth of your daily calcium needs.
