- 5Spread about 1/4 cup of enchilada sauce evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
- 6Spoon about 1/3 cup of the mushroom and black bean filling down the centre of each tortilla, roll tightly, and place seam-side down in the baking dish.
- 7Pour the remaining enchilada sauce evenly over the rolled tortillas and sprinkle the shredded cheese generously on top.
- 8Bake uncovered for 18–20 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the edges are slightly golden.
- 9Garnish with sour cream, cilantro, or sliced green onions and serve immediately.
💡 Most Canadian grocery stores carry Old El Paso or PC brand red enchilada sauce near the Mexican foods aisle — this is the closest substitute for authentic Mexican enchilada roja. For a smokier depth, stir in a teaspoon of chipotle peppers in adobo sauce (also widely available canned). Corn tortillas are more traditional; warm them briefly in a dry pan or microwave wrapped in a damp paper towel to prevent cracking when rolling.
