Preparation

Step 1

In a medium bowl, mash half the beans. Add the spinach, corn, cumin, 1 cup of the Cheddar, the remaining beans, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper and mix to combine.

Spread 1 jar of the salsa in the bottom of a 4- to 6-quart slow cooker. Dividing evenly, roll up the bean mixture in the tortillas (about 1/2 cup each) and place the rolls seam-side down in a single layer in the slow cooker. Top with the remaining salsa and Cheddar.

Cover and cook until heated through, on low for 2 1/2 to 3 hours.

Before serving, toss the lettuce, radishes, tomatoes, and cucumber in a large bowl with the lime juice, oil and 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Serve with the enchiladas.
