Let's Get Started
- Preheat the oven to 375°F.

- Take a tortilla and spoon some of the pinto bean mixture onto it. Roll it up and place it seam-side down in the baking dish. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and filling.
- Pour the remaining enchilada sauce over the rolled tortillas, making sure they are well coated.
