This recipe is courtesy of another swap I participated in. I had never made my own Enchilada sauce so I was excited to try this recipe....and it was wonderful. The original recipe called for zucchini in place of the beans and salsa, but I know you may find this shocking (joke) I do not like zucchini. I thought about using chicken but I figured I would keep it meat free as the recipe truly intended.

INGREDIENTS
Cooking spray
1 can black refried beans
1 cup salsa or 1 can Rotel
salt and pepper
3/4 cup shredded cheddar
3/4 cup shredded Monterey jack
4 large flour tortillas
Enchilada sauce:
1 garlic clove, minced
1 chipotle chili in adobo sauce
1 cup tomato sauce
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 cup chicken broth
salt and pepper to taste
DIRECTIONS
For the enchilada sauce: in a medium saucepan, spray oil and sauté garlic. Add chipotle chile, cumin, broth, tomato sauce, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 5-10 minutes. Set aside until ready to use.
Spray a baking dish with nonstick spray. Preheat oven to 400F degrees.
In a medium nonstick skillet warm beans and salsa (or Rotel); salt and pepper to taste and cook about 4-5 minutes.
Remove from heat and add 1/4 cup cheddar and 1/4 cup of Monterey jack; mix well.
Divide bean mixture between in each tortilla, roll and place seam side down in baking dish. (I had leftover filling due my changes, but the leftovers make a great bean dip for tortilla chips).
Top with enchilada sauce and remaining cheese and bake until hot and the cheese is melted, about 20 minutes.
