Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 250g pouch microwave rice
  • 1 tsp Cajun seasoning
  • Bunch spring onions, chopped
  • 2 large flour tortillas
  • 415g can refried beans
  • 200g tub tomato salsa
  • 150g pot fat-free yogurt
  • 25g cheese, grated

Instructions

  1. Prepare the rice: Heat the microwave rice according to the package instructions. Once warmed, stir in the Cajun seasoning and most of the chopped spring onions to infuse the rice with flavor.
  2. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 200°C (180°C fan)/gas mark 6 to get it ready for baking the enchiladas.
  3. Assemble the enchiladas: Spread the refried beans evenly over each flour tortilla. Then layer the seasoned rice on top of the beans. Spread half of the tomato salsa over the base of a baking dish to form a flavorful layer.
  4. Roll and arrange: Carefully roll up each tortilla with the fillings inside and place them seam-side down on top of the salsa in the baking dish.
  5. Add toppings: Dot half of the fat-free yogurt over the rolled enchiladas and sprinkle the grated cheese evenly on top.
  6. Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes or until the enchiladas are golden and bubbling.
  7. Serve: Once baked, sprinkle the remaining spring onions over the top. Serve the enchiladas with the rest of the yogurt and salsa on the side for optional dipping and extra flavor.

Notes

  • You can customize this recipe by substituting the Cajun seasoning with your favorite spice blend.
  • For a variation, try the baked Bombay potato wraps as suggested: mixing rice with Bombay potatoes, then baking with yogurt and toppings.
  • Using fat-free yogurt keeps the dish lighter without sacrificing creaminess.
  • Feel free to add extra veggies or proteins like corn or grilled chicken to boost the meal.
  • Make sure to roll the tortillas tightly to prevent filling from spilling during baking.
