Double-Cheese Enchiladas with a Bacon Topping

Cheese lovers, rejoice! I’m excited to share with you my recipe for delicious Double-Cheese Enchiladas with a Bacon Topping. This dish combines the creamy goodness of two types of cheese with the savory crunch of bacon, creating a flavor explosion you won’t want to miss. Whether you’re preparing for a family dinner or a cozy night in, these enchiladas are sure to impress!

Let’s get started with the ingredients you will need:

  • 10 corn tortillas
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup shredded Monterey Jack cheese
  • 1 cup cooked and crumbled bacon (about 6 strips)
  • 2 cups enchilada sauce (red or green, your choice)
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 1 can (15 oz) of black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)

Now that we have our ingredients, let’s examine the preparation:

Step 1: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until translucent, about 3-5 minutes. Then, stir in the minced garlic and sauté for an additional minute until fragrant.

Step 2: Combine the cooked onion and garlic with the black beans in a bowl. Mix in half of the cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses, and season with salt and pepper to taste.

Step 3: For assembly, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Take one tortilla, add a generous scoop of the cheese and bean mixture, and roll it up. Place the enchilada seam-side down in a baking dish. Repeat this process for all tortillas.

Step 4: Once all tortillas are in the baking dish, pour the enchilada sauce evenly over the top. Sprinkle the remaining cheddar and Monterey Jack cheeses over the sauce. Then, add all the crumbled bacon on top for that mouthwatering kick.

Step 5: Bake in your preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. For a crispier top, you can place the dish under the broiler for an additional 2-3 minutes – just keep an eye on it!

Step 6: When done, I like to garnish the enchiladas with freshly chopped cilantro for a burst of color and flavor. Serve hot, and enjoy each cheesy, bacony bite!

Making Double-Cheese Enchiladas with a Bacon Topping is not just a delightful dinner option; it’s an experience sure to satisfy any cheese craving. I hope you enjoy creating this dish as much as I do!
