Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Sauce
To start, heat the extra virgin olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add half of the chopped onion and the minced garlic, sautéing them for about 1-2 minutes until softened and fragrant. Sprinkle in the all-purpose flour and stir continuously to prevent clumps, cooking for another minute. Add the blanched tomatoes and whisk them into the mixture until smooth. If the sauce is too thick, feel free to add a little water to reach the desired consistency. Stir in the cumin powder, red chili powder, dried oregano, and salt to taste. Let the sauce simmer for 3-4 minutes until it thickens slightly, then remove from heat and set aside.
Step 2: Prepare the Filling
In a separate small bowl, combine the remaining chopped onion, chopped tomato, coriander leaves, kidney beans, and Del Monte Tartare Dip. Mix well to combine all the ingredients evenly.
Step 3: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F) and lightly grease a 1-liter square or rectangular baking dish.
Step 4: Assemble the Enchiladas
Warm the whole wheat flour tortillas on a griddle or microwave for a few seconds to make them pliable. Lay each tortilla flat and spoon about 2 tablespoons of the bean and tartare dip filling along the center. Roll each tortilla tightly to enclose the filling and place the rolled enchiladas snugly into the greased baking dish.
Step 5: Add the Sauce and Cheese
Spread the prepared sauce over the rolled tortillas, ensuring the top is fully covered. Sprinkle shredded cheese (cheddar or Mexican cheese) generously over the sauce.
Step 6: Bake and Serve
Place the dish in the oven and bake for about 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and lightly golden. Once done, remove from the oven.
Step 7: Garnish and Serve
Garnish with spring onion greens (optional) for a fresh, colorful touch. Serve the enchiladas immediately, ideally with a side of Baked Mexican Rice for a complete and hearty meal.
Tips for Serving
- Side Dishes: These enchiladas pair wonderfully with Mexican rice, guacamole, or a simple side salad.
- Add Protein: If you prefer more protein, you can add grilled chicken or tofu to the filling.
- Make Ahead: You can assemble the enchiladas ahead of time and refrigerate them until ready to bake. This makes them perfect for meal prep.
- Adjust Spice Levels: Feel free to adjust the chili powder or add jalapeños to the sauce for an extra kick.
