Yield::10 enchiladas
Ingredients
cooking spray
2 ½ cups water, divided
1 cup white rice
1 pound ground beef
1 onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 (1.25 ounce) package taco seasoning
1 (16 ounce) can refried beans
2 cups shredded Cheddar cheese, divided
1 cup cottage cheese
10 (8 inch) flour tortillas
1 cup sour cream
1 (7.75 ounce) can red enchilada sauce
Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease two 9×13-inch baking dishes with cooking spray.
Bring 1 1/2 cups water and rice to a boil in a saucepan over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until rice is almost tender and liquid is absorbed, 15 to 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir beef in the hot skillet until browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain excess grease, then stir in onion and garlic until thoroughly combined. Stir remaining 1 cup water and taco seasoning into beef mixture; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer until thickened, about 5 minutes.
Gently stir in rice and continue cooking, stirring often, until liquid is absorbed. Mix refried beans, 1 cup Cheddar cheese, and cottage cheese into filling; stir until well combined.
Spread about 1/2 cup filling in a line down the center of each tortilla and roll up to enclose filling. Place 5 rolled tortillas, seam-side down, into the bottom of each prepared baking dish.
Stir together sour cream and enchilada sauce in a bowl until combined. Pour 1/2 of the sauce down the center of each dish; sprinkle with remaining 1 cup Cheddar cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven until cheese is melted and filling is hot, 20 to 25 minutes.
Tips
To Freeze Unbaked Enchiladas: After step 5, cover the baking dishes with aluminum foil and freeze for up to 3 months. Let thaw in the refrigerator overnight. Bake as directed above, adding 5 to 10 minutes to cook time.
