How to make Pinto Bean Enfrijoladas

Preheat oven to 177°C. Oil 13x9x2-inch glass baking dish. Heat 45ml oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onions and garlic and sauté until onions are golden, about 8 minutes. Add beans, 350ml milk, and 350ml water; simmer until onions are tender, stirring occasionally, about 10 minutes. Mash beans coarsely in skillet. Mix in chilli and all spices; season with salt and pepper. Add more milk or water by 60ml fuls to thin bean mixture to slightly soupy consistency.

Heat remaining 60ml oil in another large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tortilla at a time; cook until tortilla softens, about 30 seconds per side. Transfer tortilla to work surface. Place 1 heaping tablespoon cheese in centre of each tortilla; fold in half. Place in prepared dish, overlapping tortillas slightly. Top with bean sauce.

Bake until enfrijoladas are heated through and sauce is bubbling, about 20 minutes. Sprinkle with remaining queso ranchero and coriander. Serve with soured cream.
