Instructions:
-
Prepare the Rouladen: Begin by pounding the rouladen slices to tenderize them. Be gentle, you don’t want to obliterate them, just give them a few taps to soften them up.
-
Assemble the Rouladen: Lay out the tenderized rouladen slices on a clean cutting board. Spread approximately 1/2 cup of refried beans onto each slice, followed by 2-3 tablespoons of shredded Monterey Jack cheese.
-
Roll ‘Em Up: Carefully roll up each rouladen slice, ensuring that the filling stays inside. Secure the rolls with toothpicks to prevent them from unraveling during cooking.
-
Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
-
Arrange in a Dish: Place the rolled rouladen side by side in an oven-proof casserole dish. Pour the salsa evenly over the rouladen, ensuring they’re well-covered. Then, cover the dish with foil.
-
Bake: Transfer the dish to the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
-
Add Cheese: After 30 minutes, remove the foil and sprinkle the remaining shredded Monterey Jack cheese over the top of the rouladen rolls.
-
Continue Baking: Return the uncovered dish to the oven and continue baking for an additional 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the rouladen are heated through.
-
Serve: Once done, remove the Mexican Rouladen from the oven. Serve hot, garnished with slices of avocado and a dollop of sour cream on top for extra indulgence.
Enjoy your Mexican Rouladen with a zesty salsa kick and creamy avocado goodness! 🌯🥑🧀
