Cheese and Rice Enchiladas with Spicy Bean Sauce

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup rice, uncooked
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 8 (6-inch) corn tortillas
  • 2 cups (8 oz.) Sargento® Bistro® Blends Shredded Taco Cheese, divided
  • 1/2 cup light or regular sour cream
  • 1/2 cup sliced green onions, divided
  • 1 can (4 oz.) chopped green chilies, undrained
  • 1 can (15 oz.) pinto beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 cup salsa
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup diced seeded tomato
  • 1 Tbsp. minced fresh cilantro

Directions

  1. Combine rice, 1-1/3 cups water and salt in small saucepan; heat to a boil. Reduce heat to low; cover and simmer 18 minutes or until liquid is absorbed. Transfer to medium bowl; cool completely.
  2. Wrap tortillas in dampened paper towels, then in foil. Bake in preheated 350°F oven 10 minutes or until softened. Add 1 cup cheese, sour cream, 1/4 cup green onions and chilies to rice; mix well. Spoon heaping 1/3 cup mixture down center of each warm tortilla. Roll up; place seam-side down in greased 13x9-inch baking dish.
  3. Partially mash beans with back of a wooden spoon or potato masher in medium bowl. Stir in salsa and garlic. Spoon evenly over enchiladas; cover with aluminum foil. Bake in a preheated 350°F oven 25 minutes or until heated through. Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup green onions, tomato and cilantro.
