Step 1

Preparation Time: Approximately 20 minutes

Cook Time: Approximately 45 minutes

Preparation:

Arrange the tortillas in 2 stacks and place in a cold oven. Heat the oven to 400°F. Remove the tortillas after 10 minutes and cover with a warm, damp towel.

To make filling. mash the refried beans in a medium bowl with a fork. Add the rice, 1/3 cup cheese, salsa, cilantro, olives and hot sauce, if desired.

Coat the bottom of a 9- x 13-inch baking dish with a thin layer of enchilada sauce, saving about half the sauce as a topping.

Place a tortilla on a cutting board and spoon a heaping about 1/3 cup filling over the center of a tortilla; roll it up. Set in the baking dish seam-side down. Fill the remaining tortillas and place them in the baking dish, squeezing them into place.

Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the rolled tortillas. Sprinkle 2/3 cup cheese evenly over the top. Bake, uncovered for 30 to 35 minutes until hot and bubbly. Let stand a few minutes before serving and, if desired, garnish with a topping of diced avocado and chopped cilantro. Serve two enchiladas per person.
