No-Bake Bean Enchiladas are classic Mexican fare. Many recipes bake the filled and rolled enchiladas in a baking dish. That’s done primarily to melt the cheese on top. But even without the cheese (which we obviously don’t use here), it can be tough to get the enchiladas out of the baking dish without breaking them.
What I like about this recipe is that you don’t have to bake the enchiladas. Just fill them with your favorite, healthy, refried beans, then roll them, top with enchilada sauce, and dig in! Feel free to use your favorite canned refried beans, but I humbly suggest our recipe for Refried Beans – Slow Cooker Style. I’ve tried many off-the-shelf brands of refried beans. They just don’t compare to homemade. A side of Skillet Southwest Rice is a tasty accompaniment. And don’t be shy with the lettuce. I suggest an entire heart of romaine for every two enchiladas. That’s one serving in the nutrition calculations below. Lettuce is the perfect cooling vegetable for the enchilada spices. And it makes the whole dish looks nicely put together.
