Rachel's Favorite Enchiladas



  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil 
  • 1/2 onion, chopped 
  • qts. baby spinach 
  • 1 cup frozen corn 
  • About 1 can (19 oz.) enchilada sauce
  • all-corn tortillas, quartered
  • 1 cup refried beans 
  • About 1 cup cooked rinsed black beans
  • 1 cup plus 2 tbsp. shredded Monterey jack cheese 
  • 6 tablespoons chopped green onions 

  1. Preheat oven to 375°. Heat oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add onion and cook until translucent, about 4 minutes. Add spinach and cook, stirring as needed, until almost completely wilted. Add corn and cook until hot. Set aside.
  2. Put 6 ovenproof baking dishes* (each about 12-oz. capacity) on a rimmed baking sheet. Working with one dish at a time, spoon in 2 tbsp. enchilada sauce. Top with 2 tortilla quarters, 2 rounded tbsp. each refried beans and black beans, 1 tbsp. cheese, and 2 more tortilla quarters, pushing tortillas down gently as you layer them over cheese and beans. Spoon in 1/3 cup (packed) vegetable mixture, then 2 more tortilla quarters, 3 tbsp. enchilada sauce, and 2 tbsp. cheese. Repeat layering with remaining dishes.
  3. Bake enchiladas until bubbling, cheese is melted, and tortillas are starting to brown on edges, about 30 minutes. Sprinkle with green onions.
