These are so delicious, full of tender beans and tons of cheese. This is a perfect “meatless” meal option, full of protein and fiber. My favorite brand of refried beans is Amy’s Organic Traditional Refried Beans.
*You’ll want to make your own enchilada sauce or buy it at your local natural foods store, as many conventional brands contain MSG (monosodium glutamate).
**Substitute corn tortillas for the flour tortillas if you’re gluten free.
